Yep. Definitely won the Lotto. You are so good at what you do. You have an eye for what isn’t working and it helps me keep my promise to deliver great content. I can’t wait to see the work we do together over the next several years!

To think this all began with being seated next to each other at a wedding! You are such a beautiful person inside and out. It was an honor to do this collaboration with you. Thanks for helping all of us Savvy Girls shine as our best selves!
TO TARA:
I can’t tell you how many people have told me that we nailed the cover and interior design for the Savvy Girl series. All thanks to your incredible judgment and eye for design. You continue to blow away my expectations.
TO RACHELLE:
You continue to impress me with your attention to detail! Thanks for taking a high level of care with these Savvy Girl books and for going above and beyond with your extra notes to make sure we don’t miss anything! I am so happy to have you as part of the Savvy Girl team.

You’re the best thing that ever happened me. Thanks for continuing to challenge me to think bigger and get out of my comfort zone. And thanks for being there for me when I stumble and need help up. You are the love of my life.

My pursuit of Savvy Girl wouldn’t have been possible without your love, guidance, and support. It is a gift to get to pursue one’s passion, and I have the two of you to thank for the opportunity to go after mine. I love you both more than anything.
TO MY BROTHER:
I couldn’t ask for a better brother. I feel so lucky that we have become so close and that we get to hang out all the time. It makes my heart melt that you always carry a copy of my Savvy Girl books in your briefcase. Your support means the world to me.
TO SEAN:
Thank you for believing in me from the beginning and for making sure I kept myself a part of the books instead of hiding behind the scenes as I had originally planned. I have you to thank for this pivotal detail in the progression of Savvy Girl.

Thanks for helping make the first Savvy Girl book a huge hit! I couldn’t do this without all of the love and support from you all! Love you girls!
