Who is Victoria? I started my career working in Organisational Psychology as a Culture and Engagement Consultant – and quickly realised that whilst I loved what I did, I wasn’t having the impact I desired. In 2015 I started Zella Wealth with the intention of bringing approachable, implementable and long term wealth strategies to Generation Y. I then went on to start She’s on the Money which launched officially as a business in 2018. In my spare time, I love mentoring and am currently working with three different organisations to do this. Fitted for Work, the RMIT Alumni Mentoring Program, and MyRoad with eBeacon. I also work very closely with the Epworth Foundation to raise much needed funds for the Epworth Hospital. Ac Academi mic credentials: Bachelor of Psychological Science, Post Graduate Diploma of Psychology, Organisational Psychology. Masters of Business Administration . Diploma of Financial Planning, (RG146), Advanced Diploma of Financial Planning. 02. It’s your journey.
