Cat Lafuente

Cat Lafuente is a Florida-based writer and editor with extensive experience in digital and print content spaces. Her own personal finance journey — particularly consolidating debt and paying it off, in turn boosting her credit score and becoming a homeowner — inspired her to join the FinanceBuzz team; she hopes she can help others do the same. She's also a discerning shopper with expertise in grocery stores.

Cat graduated from Sarah Lawrence College with a degree in liberal arts and received her master’s degree in religious studies from the University of South Florida. She enjoys exploring Florida’s outdoor spaces with her spouse in her spare time, kayaking, and studying new languages.
