Sandy Kenrick
Sandy got a headstart in finance by working in the small business division at a bank. This also happens to be where she cultivated a deep and enduring love for businesses, startups, and financial fitness. Her love for the written word stole her away from business plans and income statements, and now, she likes nothing better than a hot cup of coffee and an intriguing angle. Her work has appeared in Bankrate, The Simple Dollar, and I Will Teach You To Be Rich.
