Madeline Finkelstein founded FinancialBridge in the spring of her freshman year of high school. She is currently a sophomore at JJ Pearce High School in Richardson, Texas. Madeline competes in DECA for personal financial literacy and was a state finalist in her freshman year. After seeing a need for clear bilingual financial resources at her high school, Madeline started creating original, easy-to-learn financial lessons and activities in both English and Spanish. She believes that language should not be a barrier to learning important financial concepts. One of Madeline's main goals for this program is to educate younger students to give them the knowledge to make informed financial decisions in the future. By founding and leading this program, Madeline is hopeful to broaden the reach of financial information to all students who want to learn. In her free time, Madeline enjoys reading, playing ping-pong & pickleball, and hanging with family and friends.
