Who is Crypto Wendy anyway?
Wendy is a former healthcare professional turned crypto trader and content creator, or what she describes as a “YouTube shock jock.”
While the switch from health to crypto came about due to a number of reasons, one big factor was that the long commutes and working hours were taking her away from spending more time with her number one asset: her daughter.
“For seven years, I worked in infectious disease, HIV/AIDS, and I had a three-hour round trip commute four times a week. I was far from my daughter, and I just wanted to be close to her,” she says, adding:

Diving into crypto, firstly via Bitcoin in 2017, Wendy taught herself how to trade and discovered that being able to do so round the clock, 24/7, worked perfectly with having a one-year-old daughter, as she could fit everything around her child’s schedule.

“I just was doing it because I wanted to really help the underdogs…
