Nancy Rodriguez, 33, is known for being a contestant on season three of Netflix’s reality series Love Is Blind. Behind the scenes, Rodriguez has made place for herself in real estate, content creation, financial education, and speech pathology.
Before making it onto the Emmy-nominated series, Rodriguez spent her 20’s working to pay off over $100k in debt from student loans and a car purchase. For several meals a day, she would eat rice and beans to save money, a tip she learned from radio personality Dave Ramsey. Rodriguez’ debt situation led her to research financial literacy, which today is a pillar for her online brand.
Since she paid off her debt, Rodriguez has created multiple streams of income from her career in real-estate, social media influencing, and part-time work as a speech and language pathologist. Today, she uses her platform to educate others on financial literacy through her segment, “FiNancy Talks.”
