Personal Finance Experience
Christi Gorbett holds a master's degree in English and has over eight years of experience as a content marketing writer. During this time, she has created a wide range of content for banks, financial product comparison sites, and marketing companies on topics like small business loans, credit cards, mortgages, retirement planning, lender reviews, and more.
Christi’s interest in finance grew when she returned to the United States after living in South Korea for almost a decade. This shift was driven by several personal financial challenges: rebuilding her financial base after the move home, starting her own business, and catching up on retirement savings. These experiences not only deepened Christi’s practical understanding of finance but also intensified her passion for the field.
As a former teacher, Christi excels at making complex financial topics accessible and easy to understand. She finds joy in helping others improve their financial health, translating intricate financial jargon into clear, practical advice.
