She wrote for Business Insider’s “Your Money” vertical, covering a variety of topics, such as managing your money, growing your wealth, the psychology of getting rich, and personal stories of people who have achieved impressive financial accomplishments.

Elkins worked as an intern for Business Insider before that. She is a graduate of Williams College, where she was on the tennis team.
