Katarina Smolkova - Financial Coach
The Financial Resilience workshop series is brought to you by Katarina Smolkova, a financial coach with over 7 years of financial coaching experience. Katarina’s journey into the financial world began when she was searching for a financial coach for herself. What started as a personal mission to gain financial clarity quickly turned into a passion for helping others achieve the same.
Today, Katarina holds both her LLQP (Life License Qualification Program) and Mutual Fund license, equipping her with the knowledge and credentials to guide individuals and families through every stage of their financial journey. She specializes in teaching the core principles of how money works and creating customized strategies that help clients make more, save more, and plan smarter for the future.
Beyond her work, Katarina enjoys a vibrant and balanced lifestyle. You’ll often find her gardening, hiking scenic trails, experimenting with healthy cooking and baking, or dancing salsa. She believes that financial wellness—just like personal wellness—is about growth, balance, and enjoying the journey.
We’re excited for you to learn from her expertise today, and we hope you enjoy the workshop!
