Tyson Garfield
Financial Literacy Advocate
Personal Notes
Welcome! My name is Tyson Garfield, and I’m both a physician and a Certified Financial Education Instructor. While my journey began in medicine, I’ve always been deeply passionate about financial literacy. Over the years, I’ve seen how financial stress can affect health and well-being, especially for young adults as they embark on their careers.
Starting out in the professional world is an exciting time, but it often comes with financial challenges—managing student loans, budgeting, saving for the future, and planning for long-term goals. My goal is to help simplify these concepts, empower you to make informed decisions, and create a foundation for lasting financial security.
I believe that understanding personal finance isn’t just about numbers; it’s about freedom, confidence, and building a life you love. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or looking for a fresh start, I’m here to guide you with practical advice and strategies tailored to your needs.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey. Together, we can build a healthier, wealthier future!
