My name is Shuntel McRaven.

I graduated from Metropolitan State University in St. Paul, Minnesota with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. 

I started my financial services career at a fortune 500 company in Minneapolis, Minnesota. After developing analytical skills and gaining a vast amount of industry

knowledge, I pivoted my career to another fortune 500 company in the retail industry.

At the headquarters of a major retail chain, I continued to improve my analytical skills while fine tuning many other skills, such as

management and organizational skills. After experiencing the devastating loss of my husband, I decided to take those skills and relocate to Charlotte, North

Carolina where my entrepreneurial endeavors began.

I owned and operated a restaurant and lounge for close to 2 years before returning back to the financial services industry. With the desire

to help women beyond just providing financial products, I became a Certified Money Coach (CMC)® to help women discover how their deepest thoughts, family

beliefs, and self-taught beliefs and habits are sabotaging their relationship with money.  In addition, I became a Financial Education Instructor to

perfect my teaching abilities and style.

I created Financially Mindful as an outlet to become an advocate for increasing financial literacy among young professional women and

their families.  As a result, these women learn how their self-sabotage is blocking them from having financial stability and the lifestyle that they

desire.

My passion is empowering women to be financially strong, financially safe and financially mindful (aware) in their pursuit of building

solid financial structures.
