About Me

Audrey Emerson is a Financial Advisor at Cultivating Wealth and CFP® practitioner.

Audrey’s journey in personal finance began in art school. Realizing her career choice might not come with a 401k match, her casual curiosity around personal finance turned into a more urgent interest.

After graduating with a film degree from the University of Southern California, Audrey found her niche as a producer for social impact entertainment and corporate video. Her work with companies such as Netflix, Devlo Media, Creative Visions, Al Jazeera, IMAX, and others has garnered several industry honors.

When Audrey caught herself reading the Summary Plan Document for a friend’s retirement plan for fun, she decided to officially pursue her passion for personal finance and began studying for the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® (CFP®) exam which she passed in November 2021.

Audrey is interested in helping creatives (and non-creatives) meet their financial and life goals and is excited to be supporting the team at Cultivating Wealth.

Currently, Audrey lives in Bellingham, WA, and loves to spend as much time outside as possible. If not at her desk, she may be out training for the Pan Mass Challenge bike ride or trying new restaurants!

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
