Hi! I'm Alexandra Annen and I love helping new and aspiring teachers learn more about their finances.
During my first year teaching, I received so much well-intentioned advice from mentors and colleagues encouraging me to save for retirement, but I didn’t know how. I never liked not knowing, so I began to research how to save for retirement and then learned so much more!
I've presented the things I've learned to music education students at University of the Pacific and at the California State Music Education Conference (CASMEC) in February 2023.
One thing to note: I am not a financial advisor, my goal is simply to share the lessons that I have learned about money with college students and teachers at the beginning of their careers.
