Introducing Round 3: Spring 2014 Feature Writers

Become a Feature Writer

Whew!

We’ve done it! We’ve sorted through all the applications and have come up with the final list of our brand new feature writers here on Modern Mama.

It wasn’t easy to be sure but anything worth having is always hard work, right mama?

Did you see our Casting Call last month?

We were looking to bring twelve new writers on board the Modern Mama team but we couldn’t manage to narrow it down that far. There were a few favourites that were standing out so we had to include them as well. If you missed the first post that introduced the first FIVE writers in the series it’s here and the second round, 6-10 is here.

This post rounds up the final SEVEN brand new (to us) feature writers bringing our new team of writers up to a happy SEVENTEEN!

So sit back relax and get to know these fabulous women!

17. Joanna Muir

When Joanna Muir was a child her favourite toy was a cash register that she bought with her own money. Upon completing university, Joanna found a natural fit working for one of Canada’s major banks. Becoming a CGA marked another milestone and working in the airline and healthcare industries broadened Joanna’s business planning experience.

She would be behind in planning for her retirement if it wasn’t for a moment in her twenties when she tested a retirement calculator and learned that she needed to be putting away a lot of money now to retire the way she wanted. With that motivation behind her she started learning about about loans and mortgages and bought her first home at twenty-four and hasn’t looked back. You can connect with Joanna at DearPiggyBank.com.
