Our different backgrounds and life experiences shape our behavior and attitudes towards money. One thing that we share is our passion for financial literacy. Get a glimpse into the views of our individual faculty about money in their own lives.
Jacqueline Weflen
Financial Life Coach“I believe that the best financial advice is to invest in yourself. In the words of Warren Buffett, ‘Invest in as much of yourself as you can. You are your own biggest asset by far.’ “
Emily Bolick
Financial Life Coach“The best financial decision I have ever made is to buy a home well under my budget. This has allowed me the flexibility and freedom to have extra cash to put towards things I enjoy.”
David Bloom
Financial Life Coach“Be patient with your money, have a budget, an investment plan, goals and try not to be trapped in the now.”
Kim Llumiquinga
Academic Director“Money is not the end – it is a means to an end. Use money to pursue personal passions, to make a meaningful impact and to afford you the time to do the things you love with the people you love.”
Anja Chapman
Academic Assistant“My favorite things to do without spending money are getting outside, even if it’s just to a local park or for a quick hike. I also love having a movie night at home where my kids build a giant pillow fort and we all watch an old movie and eat popcorn.”
Jesse MacDonald
RightTrak Developer“By getting financial education in the hands of next-gen learners as early in life as possible, we hope we can help our students avoid saying the old adage ‘I wish I knew then what I know now’ later in life.”
