Sarah Chen writes beginner investing guides at Stocks Register, with a focus on making the stock market accessible to people who have never invested before. Her guides are read by hundreds of thousands of first-time investors every month.

Before joining Stocks Register, Sarah worked for six years as a personal financial advisor in the San Francisco Bay Area. She noticed that most of her clients came to her not because they lacked money to invest, but because financial media made the process seem inaccessible. She started writing to fix that.

Sarah holds a CFP (Certified Financial Planner) designation and a degree in Behavioral Economics from Stanford University. She specialises in translating complex financial concepts into decisions that real people can act on immediately.

Her guides cover everything from opening your first brokerage account to understanding ETFs, compound interest, and tax-advantaged investing through Roth IRAs.
