Renee Porcena
Financial Services Professional & Financial Literacy Advocate

Personal Notes
I became an NFEC Certified Financial Education Instructor℠ to help people. In the past nine years, I have witnessed deep family problems in churches, in our neighborhoods and in our own businesses. I have such a big heart for teaching financial literacy that I signed up with Junior Achievement as a volunteer to teach personal finance to students. I visited low-income area schools to help students understand what personal finance is and how financial knowledge can help them to get a better future. I have helped many families and students. With all the knowledge and tools that I have acquired with the NFEC, I am extremely excited and determined to help our churches, our schools and our families to take control of their finances.
