Katherine Peach has been a personal finance writer since 2007, with a focus on investing, saving, budgeting, and paying off debt. However, she didn’t always intend to write about money — she graduated from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County with a degree in Ancient Studies. (Unearthing smart money ideas isn't such a bad career alternative to being an archaeologist!) In her spare time, she enjoys DJing, making miniature art, and spending time in the forest.
