Mercedes Gaztambide has always had a dramatic flair, turning road trips into live performances, storms into weather reports, and family events into breaking news segments. 

It's no surprise that she discovered her passion for journalism at 17. After graduating from Toronto Metropolitan University's School of Journalism, she worked as a host and reporter for blogTO. 

Mercedes has hosted live shows and interviews for various media companies, and in her free time, she is super curious about the world and loves to read. Just beware, she may ask you some tough questions, but always with a smile.

You can see her making money stuff make sense daily on @streetcents.
