Meet the People Behind ravonelthiqs
Our team brings together decades of real-world financial experience with a passion for making budget management accessible. We believe financial education works best when it comes from people who've navigated their own money challenges and found practical solutions that actually stick.
Our Financial Educators
Each team member contributes unique perspectives from different financial backgrounds, creating a comprehensive approach to budget education that serves diverse learning styles and life situations.
Brynne Castellano
Lead Financial Educator
Brynne started ravonelthiqs in 2019 after spending eight years helping families restructure debt as a financial counselor. She discovered that most people don't need complex investment advice – they need someone to show them how to make their regular income work better. Her approach focuses on small, sustainable changes that build confidence over time.
Dashiell Kramer
Budget Strategy Specialist
Dashiell brings a background in behavioral economics to practical money management. After working with small business owners for six years, he joined ravonelthiqs to focus on the psychology behind spending decisions. He's particularly skilled at helping people identify their money patterns and develop personalized strategies that align with their actual lifestyle, not idealized versions of it.
What Drives Our Work
Real Experience, Real Solutions
We've all been there – staring at bank statements wondering where the money went, feeling overwhelmed by conflicting financial advice, or trying budget systems that work for everyone except us. That shared experience shapes everything we teach. Instead of theoretical frameworks, we focus on methods that have worked for real people in similar situations.
Learning That Actually Sticks
Traditional financial education often fails because it treats everyone the same way. We start by understanding how each person naturally thinks about money, then build from there. Whether you're a detailed planner or someone who prefers simple systems, we help you develop approaches that match your personality and circumstances, making sustainable change more likely.
