Hey, I'm Janine
I built a half-million-dollar investment portfolio by the time I was 30. I’m a passionate TEDx and Keynote speaker, best-selling author of The Pink Tax, and an award-winning CPA and financial educator. I’ve been teaching women how to build wealth for over 13 years. I created this course during the pandemic to demystify financial jargon and empower women to build their own six-figure portfolios.
Building wealth is incredibly important as women – we live longer, are paid less, and are more likely to leave our money in cash, not earning enough to even keep up with inflation.
You work so hard for your money – why not make it work just as hard for you?
