The Agency Agency

Principal Agent Elisabeth Andrews

I am fascinated with our individual capacity for self-determination, resilience, and change. This interest motivated a non-traditional career path that began with physical fitness and eventually led to consulting on international environmental policy. Along the way I've enjoyed successful self-employment in a variety of writing, teaching, and facilitation roles with clients including Stanford University, MIT,  U.S. EPA, UN Environment, and the University of Birmingham in the UK, with which I am currently a Research Associate in Environmental Genomics.


In 2016, I discovered the financial independence (FI) community and radically transformed my relationship with money. I have since published guest blogs with JL Collins and Mr. 1500 and been featured on the ChooseFI podcast. I also collaborated with JL Collins on a "Guided meditation for when the stock market is dropping" and developed a primer on FI for First Timers.


My passionate belief in our ability to craft balanced, engaged lives — even in the midst of challenge and uncertainty — has led me to offer coaching, workshops, and courses on topics including personal finance, time management, and self-knowledge. The Agency Agency brings together these resources to support motivated individuals who are ready to claim their personal agency.

journaling

I've been journaling  consistently obsessively for more than 30 years, which has been critical in honing my writing craft, shaping my life plan, and understanding my own unique traits. I am now in the process of harvesting and shredding these volumes, which date back to middle school. If you are interested in reading about this journey and accessing weekly journaling prompts and inspiration, you can subscribe to my substack, The Navel Gazette.

Career

Originally from Chicago, I earned a BA in History from Stanford University and spent the next two years as a personal fitness trainer in Silicon Valley. After completing a master's degree in public health, I worked as a public relations and marketing specialist while writing award-winning freelance magazine articles on topics ranging from primary education to nation building. I transitioned to science writing after serving as a speechwriter for the Provost of Indiana University Bloomington and developed a niche interpreting technical information for policy makers. Highlights of this career include helping to draft International Standards for off-grid cooking and sanitation solutions, working with MIT and USAID to create guidelines for the use of AI in humanitarian projects, and writing a proposal that secured €20 million from the European Commission to support groundbreaking environmental toxicology research.
