Empowering Financial Literacy: Irene Day
As President and CEO of Hannah Financial, I am dedicated to giving real-life financial literacy solutions to individuals and organizations. Over the past 5 years, I have grown to feel truly passionate about educating people so they don’t fall into the same financial hardships I experienced early in life – all from just not understanding how money worked.
With a Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational Leadership from Baldwin Wallace University, 7 years in the financial industry space, and having started a multimillion-dollar company from scratch, I know first-hand the importance of understanding how money and our economy work.
My interest in learning the ins and outs of the credit system began in 2014. I had paid off $30,000 worth of debt with the money my grandfather left me after he passed; but my credit score only increased 12 points. I was absolutely mortified. This situation motivated me to do extensive research on how my own personal credit was determined, which in turn led to an interest in the credit repair industry itself. In 2017 I officially started my business, Hannah Financial.
When I was told that I was being considered for the Advisory Board for the Ohio Financial Educators Council, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. This was my opportunity finally to be able to make a difference in my community by leveraging my education, experience, and network to continue to build and implement financial literacy programs across my state.
I am incredibly honored to have been appointed to the Ohio Financial Educators Council’s Advisory Board. I am excited to continue advocating for the widespread promotion of financial literacy throughout Ohio and beyond.
