What they are saying…

We wanted to put together a financial education session for our members and Tess was the perfect person to lead this session! Some of the members of our group are new to the workforce or have never worked for a publicly traded company before. Tess' hands on financial education session was very beneficial for both the newbies and the finance experts! Tess made the session very easy to understand, approachable, and engaging! There was lots of participation and questions from the session attendees!

- Julia Benivegna, Women in Solution Engineering ERG at Box.
"Tess has the rare ability to take complicated financial jargon and break it down into practical, easy to follow steps. She helped our staff understand our 401(k) program like never before and offered useful tools for managing their budget. I highly recommend her as a speaker and coach to anyone looking to feel more confident in their financial choices.”

- Angela Lussier, VP of Operations, Sustainable Comfort Inc.
I had the privilege of having Tess speak to our company on International Women's Day, and she was fantastic. Tess's presentation style is dynamic, engaging, and sometimes even funny, making a traditionally intimidating topic both accessible and enjoyable. She is adaptable and did a great job of tailoring the content to the audience's needs to ensure that every participant gained valuable insights and actionable takeaways. Tess has a genuine knack for financial education, bringing it to life in a way that resonates with everyone. I highly recommend her for any organization, Women's ERG group, or association that is looking to enhance the financial literacy and confidence of their employees in a way that won't put them to sleep.

- Sarah Esteverena, CMO at TMA Systems
Tess is an absolute pleasure to work with. Jam packed with energy and passion, she imparts a huge impact on those she works with. Tess is full of knowledge and her thirst to both learn more and share her knowledge with others makes her a truly powerful woman. Tess is dedicated to helping others thrive and teaching women to have a better relationship with money. She is the full package of reality and empowerment and a charge like the energizer bunny. If you have the opportunity to learn from or work with her, I recommend it.
