Championing the cause to break the generational cylce of financial illiteracy!
Hello! I am blessed to be an International Spokesperson for the Savings Fund a Non-Profit created by the National Financial Educators Council which provides financial education, resources and tools to over 22 countries. With their support I am bringing my Big Yellow Umbrella Campaign across the Globe to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America! My mother taught me that everybody needs a Big Yellow Umbrella for their rainy day! As a Financial Literacy Volunteer Teacher for the Boys and Girls Club of America it is my honor to donate and teach my Money Smart Kid Tool Box to the children in the Clubs knowing that when you Invest in a Child. You Inspire a Future!

It was Graduation day for the children at the Boys and Girls Club!  Here is a picture of just some of the amazing second graders who completed all of my Money Smart Tool Box Kit Lessons! They were thrilled to take home their Money Smart Kits to their parents which will provide them with the tools they need to reinforce the lessons they learned. They also loved their little piggy banks which were provided by 1st National Bank in Wisconsin. I saw big changes in the way these children talk about money and when I did their post tests I was thrilled to see their money skills had grown! When I first starting teaching these children their attitudes about money were pretty negative they saw it as something they did not have which is very sad. Today these children are hopeful for a good future they love to talk about money and they love to tell you what they learned and what they will do with the money they earn and receive. I am blessed to have spent each week with them it means the world to me!
