GUEST BIO - Kristina Ellis:

After winning $500K in scholarships and earning both my bachelor's and master's degrees from my dream schools, I was inspired to guide other students towards their own debt-free education. As a speaker and the best-selling author of 'Confessions of a Scholarship Winner' and 'How to Graduate Debt-Free', I had the honor of being a featured expert in Dave Ramsey’s award-winning 2021 documentary, 'Borrowed Future: How Student Loans Are Killing the American Dream'.

My work has been featured in numerous media outlets such as Fox & Friends, The Katie Couric Show, CBN, USA Today, Reuters, Seventeen, and Money.

I'm a certified Financial Coach and frequently co-hosted The Ramsey Show, one of America’s top five most-listened-to radio shows/podcasts, which averages more than 18 million combined weekly listeners. Through articles, live events, online courses, and my work with Ramsey Education, I've been able to equip young people and their families with the tools they need to understand and win with money.
