THE AUTHOR

Lorena Varela Flores, born in Mexico City, grew up there until completing her degree in Industrial Engineering at UNAM. However, at the end of her university studies life led her to become interested in Personal Growth, a field which is a core part of her life to this day. In 2000, she married and started working at the Universidad de La Salle Bajío, where she worked for 12 years.
 
It was during this period that, at the suggestion of family members, she wrote the book Smart Couples, Smart Finances, reflecting on her own personal experiences and those of close friends. However, due to a personal decision, the book’s publication was postponed for over 10 years. During these years, though, she completed diploma courses in NPL, Family Constellations, and Bioengineering, studies that gave even more meaning to what she presents in the book.
 
Convinced that money management is a topic few people address, yet it is the root of many problems within relationships, Lorena has now decided to launch her book in hope that what she has to offer can help couples realize managing money can be something that, with discipline, can help relationships be even more enjoyable and fulfilling.
