She shares, “I've been teaching for 16 years and I believe in powerful and transformational learning that happens in small moments of conversation and connection. There's a lot that feels out of control right now but online conversations keep us connected and tap into everyday learning in a whole new way. I teach about money and that brings up all sorts of emotions on a normal day.” Get to know Andrea and have a giggle on us!
