My Story:

Hi, I’m Kelly Kraus!

A wife, Mother of 2, & a child of God! My professional journey has been nothing short of amazing & I hope to be a beacon of light for anyone who might be at a crossroads (like I was just a few years ago).

A little background - I spent the first 10 years of my career as an Ag Teacher in the high school classroom but like so many others, I found myself burnt out and wanting more time freedom with my family! In 2019, my family made a cross country move from Texas to Utah which landed me in the Engineering & Design instructional space. This career change brought challenges but allowed me to stretch my skillset in product design where I successfully filed for my first patent in 2023. That’s the beginning of my own entrepreneurial journey and after 15 years in the classroom, I decided it was time for my own mid-life PIVOT.

After publicly announcing my departure from public education, I was presented with the opportunity to join forces with a financial education firm. Although this wasn’t the path I was expecting to take - becoming a licensed financial professional has given me the ability to serve my community in a whole new way. Financial Education isn’t just about saving & investing, it’s about the journey to financial freedom!

In September 2024, we launched the FIRST EVER finance magazine for women, by women - SHE.COLLECTIVE. Our goal in doing so is to empower women to take control of their future & be surrounded by a supportive, helpful, and empowering group of women to cheer you on every step of the way!!

My goal is to guide you towards a life full of fulfillment & freedom. It’s time you start investing in yourself, break free from the cycle of unfulfilled and unhappy, and get on a path to build a LEGACY that change the future for your family for generations to come!
