Hi, I'm Amanda, and I'll be your teacher. You may know me as
@dumpster.doggy on the internet.
My business is called Invested Development, and my aim is to make investing education accessible and dare I say, fun?! My students are often women, but everyone's welcome here! Really, this is for anyone who has felt left out of important conversations about money and investing.
I started this business because I've been in the rooms where these important discussions are being had. There were
not a lot of people that looked like me, and us.
After graduating with degrees in economics and communications, I went to work in investment management. I was there for about 6 and a half years. My primary role was "investment counselor;" I was the person in direct communication with our high-net-worth clients, relaying portfolio strategy and answering any and all investing-related questions, on the spot, every day. In order to do this, I had to earn my Series 65 license, which is legally required for anyone acting as an investment adviser and providing recommendations.
That's right, I dealt with the Chads and Brads so you don't have to! Move over dusty old dudes and Wall Street bros, there's a new sheriff in town!!!!!!!
But seriously, it was a great job and I learned a lot, but yeah, helping rich men get richer? That was never going to be my life's path. And now, with my business, I've taught over 20,000 students — mostly women — to invest.
I'd love for you to come learn about volatility from me, an investing expert.
