Beth V. Walker
As a scholarship athlete for the women’s volleyball team at the University of Kansas, Beth earned distinction as an Academic All-American. After completing her bachelor’s degree, she went to work for several large corporations including Procter & Gamble, Clorox, and McKesson, moving quickly through the management ranks.
In 1999, she left the corporate world and became a financial planner. She chose this profession because she wants to be a catalyst for abundance and eliminate the scarcity mentality that many people experience around money. By alleviating financial uncertainty in clients’ lives, she allows them to focus on their unique contribution.
As a Certified College Planning Specialist (CCPS), Beth is trained in the complex strategies suitable for reducing a family’s out-of-pocket college expenses, routinely saving families 25%-50% on the cost of college.
Beth is the author of two books, An Employee’s Guide to Stock Options (McGraw-Hill, 2003) and Never Pay Retail for College (Prussian Press, 2017). Beth has been quoted frequently in the press including in the Wall Street Journal, US News & World Report, CNN Money, and the Denver Post.
