Michelle Balconi is a freelance writer and speaker focused on creating connections between children and adults through economics. She loves to chat about economics because it is the only perfectly balanced science - both factual and emotional. Before writing, Michelle worked in communications for 15 years alongside technology investors introducing first-to-market products. Michelle grew up in Florida, spent many years in Massachusetts and Michigan and now lives in California with her husband and two children. When she is not writing, Michelle loves to travel and chat it up with nearly everyone she meets.
