Why I started Financial.ish

Hi, I'm Angelique.

I’m a proud St. Martiner, a finance professional, and a Certified Financial Education Instructor.

I didn’t grow up understanding money. I learned the hard way, including as a struggling student abroad. Years later, working in finance and consulting, I realised something: most of us were never actually taught how money works. Not in school, not at home.

That’s why I built Financial.ish, a place where financial education feels practical, empowering, and relevant to the way we really live. Because understanding money shouldn’t feel intimidating. It should feel possible.

Avoid costly money mistakes

Build healthier money habits

Because understanding money changes more than your bank account. It changes your options.
