Making adulting SLIGHTLY EDUCATIONAL

Navigating adult life is challenging and school didn’t prepare us well to thrive and build a foundation to support our goals. That is why we created SLIGHTLY EDUCATIONAL. We hope this is your one-stop source to gain perspective and guidance for all of life’s toughest challenges. We are passionate that life shouldn’t be as hard as it often feels. The SLIGHTLY EDUCATIONAL posts represent our opinions and findings based on our personal life experiences and research. As we gain new life experiences, we will continue to expand the courses we cover. At the end of the day, SLIGHTLY EDUCATIONAL is about you, the reader, so share with us what life skills we can help make simple. 

Meet Your SLIGHTLY EDUCATIONAL Professors

Kaity

I am a Southern girl who found her way to the west coast by chasing the California dream. Like too many millennials, I grew up in a household of divorced parents, got rocked by the ‘09 recession, faced wild student loans, and felt entirely underprepared when entering the real world. As a self-proclaimed bookworm and previous math-lete who loved school, this was a hard pill to swallow. 

I’m particularly passionate about helping share what I’ve learned with other women who want to take control of their financial future. It’s no longer a “man’s” world, it’s everyone’s world and if this blog can help at least one person, then it’s all been worth it.

I am a dog-loving, sports-enthusiast with a thirst for learning new things. Having graduated my undergrad during the recession, took student loans out for undergrad and grad school, moved 9 times in the last decade, changed careers multiple times, and recently got engaged, I have navigated a crash course in adulting. 

I currently work at the cross-section of sports, entertainment, and marketing. Looking towards my future, I am passionate about setting my family up for financial success, while keeping my eye on retiring at 50. I hope that my experiences can be helpful to you and that this blog is SLIGHTLY EDUCATIONAL.
