Experience

Barri has written in the personal finance vertical—including credit cards—for more than 20 years. She currently identifies and reports on news and top trends in the credit card industry and authors in-depth interview pieces with industry experts.

Barri’s interest in all things personal finance stems from her childhood—her mother taught her at a young age how important it is to budget and save. Those lessons resulted in a lifetime of making sound financial decisions and the desire to share them with others so they improve their financial health and gain financial freedom.

Barri has worked at various online sites offering personal finance advice, and her work has appeared in a number of outlets, including GOBankingRates.com.

Barri received a degree in English from Temple University in Philadelphia and has engaged in a wide variety of continuing education courses in writing and literature.  She worked as a full-time freelancer for GOBankingRates.com, a personal finance website, and contributed to other websites.
