Hi! My name is Jaden Kyung-Moon Bauch
I’m an art school student, practicing artist, and a financial professional. I started my journey as an artist with big dreams but quickly realized I needed to understand how to manage money to sustain my creative practice. Uncertainty about my financial future led me to a career in finance.
I have passed the Securities Industry Essentials Exam and the Series 65, and I served as a student instructor for a personal finance course here on campus. I have also had the opportunity to lecture various grade levels on how to take control of their financial futures.
Now, I’m combining my passions to help artists take control of their financial futures.
“How do I actually stick to a budget?”
“I don’t want to be a starving artist, but I don’t want to be a corporate drone either. Is there a middle ground?”
When I first started, I had so many questions
“Is it even possible to make a living off my art without selling my soul to capitalism?”
“What if I invest money and lose it? I can’t afford to take risks.”
“Maybe I should just work at McDonald's and stop thinking about all this.”
“How do I save for retirement and my goals if my income is inconsistent?”
“Whatever, money is just a social construct.”
