Who We Are
I’m Paola, the creator of CityGirlbudget.
Soy Paola, la creadora de CityGirlBudget.
Underrepresented women deserve to live their best city-girl life, even on a budget. My goal is to share stories and strategies for making your city dreams a reality.
Being a first-generation Latina, growing up in South Florida, attending college in a small town, and then moving to the nation’s capital came with several challenges.
Citygirlbudget exists to share personal finance experiences and help other first-gen women from underrepresented backgrounds navigate adulthood while living in a major U.S. city.
