Personal Finance Experience
Cassidy Horton is a finance writer and entrepreneur dedicated to helping individuals build financial freedom. Her passion for personal finance began after she paid off $18,000 in debt within just 10 months of graduating college.
Leveraging that experience alongside her MBA and bachelor’s degree in public relations, Cassidy transitioned into full-time financial journalism. She later tripled her income by launching a successful copywriting business and founding a personal finance resource for freelancers.
With over 1,000 published articles spanning banking, loans, debt management, and small business strategy, Cassidy brings deep practical knowledge and analytical rigor to her coverage for LendEDU.
