Hello, hello, hello!
I'm a money expert, speaker, Accredited Financial Counsellor Canada®, and host of the More Money Podcast...
but you can call me Jessica
As you may have guessed, I've got a passion for personal finance and teaching others
Ever since I discovered the transformative powers of financial literacy over 12 years ago, I've been on a mission to help Canadians take control of their lives by taking control of their money.
From an early age, I’ve always been very conscious of my relationship with money. Mainly because I never had a lot of it. I never got an allowance, I started working at the age of 15 and I paid my way through university without any financial assistance (save for a $5,000 student loan in my last year of school).
Once I finished my degree and got my first real job, I realized that I needed to be more than just frugal to afford the lifestyle I’ve always dreamed of. I needed to learn all the ins-and-outs of financial planning and building wealth to reach my full potential.
After years of creating financial literacy content on top of my day job, in 2017 I took a big leap of faith and quit my budding marketing career to start my own financial education company — MoorMoney Media Inc. Eight years in, and I'm now one of the leading financial educators and money experts in the country, host one of the top financial podcasts, and am publishing my first book, Everything but Money, with HarperCollins Canada (out Dec. 31, 2024).

My Mission
When I started my first blog in December 2011, I was just looking for a creative outlet and a way for me to keep myself accountable with my finances. I had no idea how much my voice would resonate with so many others looking for the exact same thing.
Cut to over a decade later and my platform has evolved into one of the leading financial education resources in the country. Now, my main focus as the go-to millennial money expert in Canada is to help you get the same support and guidance I was desperate for when I first started out in an easy-to-understand, non-judgemental way.
I want to help you get on track so you can afford the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of too. A great way to start is by checking out my budget spreadsheets and accountability group, my Wealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course, my podcast and YouTube channel, or becoming a member of my free resource library.
