Financial Content Writer & Editor
I’m a writer with over a decade of experience helping consumers navigate the often-confusing world of personal finance. Through Backman Writing Services, I provide high-quality, researched, and SEO-friendly content for major financial publications and businesses.
Above all else, my goal is to empower people to make savvy financial decisions. Whether it’s breaking down the nuances of Social Security, analyzing the latest economic market trends, or offering practical advice on homeownership, I strive to make my content informative and easy to digest.
My Journey
My path to financial writing wasn’t a straight line—it was a strategic pivot. I began my career in the financial sector, working in distressed debt. I later gained experience in product design and marketing, giving me a unique perspective on how to communicate effectively with businesses and consumers.
Eventually, I realized I could merge my analytical financial background with my degree in creative writing from Binghamton University. Today, I use that dual expertise to translate technical financial jargon into everyday language that readers can actually understand and use.

Beyond the Keyboard
When I’m not writing about interest rates or dividend stocks, I live in Central New Jersey, where I attempt to keep up with my children and rescue dogs. I’m an avid reader, a hockey fan, and a baker who believes that while financial discipline is important, so is a good cookie.
