Senior Instructor Obioha Okereke

My purpose is to teach people about the importance of financial literacy. I started College Money Habits in May of 2020 with the purpose of sharing personal stories from myself and peers about our struggles and successes as related to financial literacy. So far, the website has been viewed in 38 countries and 37 states and this is only the beginning; everybody deserves to be equipped with the tools and resources to make educated financial decisions.
