About Us


Growing up in an ever-evolving world comes with a new set of responsibilities. Kaylyn, Navia, and Melody were all born and raised in San Francisco, where they began to notice that their fellow students and peers were unable to understand how to do important life skills, like how to do their taxes, apply for loans, or how to maintain their credit for their futures. Together, they created SmartMoney to make this knowledge more accessible.

SmartMoney is an educational website for students of all ages to learn more about their finances, economics and help develop their financial literacy!
