ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Hi, I’m Sarah. Sarah Sprague Gerber, CFP®, AFC®. After graduating from MIT with a degree in Chemical-Biological Engineering and Biology, I realized I needed to take control of my personal finances (student loans, anyone?) and that others needed help, too.

I completed UC Berkeley Extension's Personal Financial Planning Certificate Program in 2018 and earned the Accredited Financial Counselor® and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® designations. I started Momentum to help others gain control of their finances and start their lives on the right financial foot.

Young professionals need to start managing their finances early in their careers, even before they've saved enough to work with a more “traditional” financial planner. Let’s do this!
