Meet Darien
Hi! I’m Darien, a PhD student at Harvard's Graduate School of Education, focusing on Culture, Institutions, and Society. Before starting my PhD, I taught first grade in Harlem, NY, where I developed curricula inspired by Black resistance movements. My current research explores the contributions of Afro-Caribbean educators and activists to the history of education, particularly during the 1960s and 70s.
When I’m not reading or writing about history, I’m probably hanging out with my cat or reminiscing about that time my partner and I did an 8-day tandem bike ride across Iowa—camping along the way.
I’m a proud Sagittarius, which probably explains my love of adventure, learning, and tackling challenges head-on. I’m excited to help others navigate their PhD journeys and bring their unique stories to light!
FAQS
What do financial consultants do?
Financial consultants provide financial advice and guidance to individuals and families. They can help you develop a financial plan, choose investments, save for retirement, and protect your assets.
How do I choose a financial consultant?
When choosing a financial consultant, it is important to consider their experience, qualifications, and fees. You should also make sure that you feel comfortable working with them and that they understand your financial needs and goals.
What is the difference between a financial consultant and a financial planner?
Financial consultants and financial planners are both financial professionals who can help you manage your finances. However, there is a key difference between the two. Financial consultants typically focus on providing advice on specific financial products and services, such as investments, insurance, and retirement planning. Financial planners, on the other hand, take a more holistic approach to financial planning and can help you develop a comprehensive financial plan that covers all areas of your financial life, such as budgeting, debt management, and estate planning.
