Origin Story

Phylecia earned her Bachelor’s in Computer Science, a Master’s in Systems Engineering and launched her career as a Scientist & Engineer for the US Navy serving sailors and soldiers across the globe. Eventually, Phylecia took an early “retirement” at the age of 36 to jump feet first into entrepreneurship. Her skills with money, financial freedom, and budgeting landed her the title of Budgetologist, where she has helped hundreds of solo business owners have reality checks when it comes to being successful with managing money.

She is the Founder of NumericME, a company on a mission to support girls and women in STEM; the creator of Keep Up with Mrs. Jones, where she blogs about her adventures in business, travel and speaking; and the host of the daily live stream and podcast, Ask the Budgetologist, where she gets real about numbers, business and life. Outside of the numbers she uses her research skills as a go to expert Speaker Coordinator connecting talented speakers with stages across the globe.
