Financial Services Professional & Financial Literacy Advocate

Skyler Harwood is Youth & Community Education Specialist for Corning Credit Union and an NFEC Certified Financial Education Instructor. After graduating with a B.S.Ed in Early Childhood Education from Bucknell University, she discovered her love for personal finance when she joined the credit union movement in 2015. In the financial education space, she works with students of all ages to help them achieve their financial goals and strives to provide them with appropriate resources to help make achieving those goals more attainable. Her work with students has been featured by CU Management, several local school district newsletters, and community partner annual reports. When it comes to financial education, she believes no student is too young to learn how to manage their own money. She has seen students struggle with managing their own money as they grow and become financially independent of their families. Many of these young people end up making costly mistakes as they try to achieve their goals. With her experience and passion for personal finance, she focuses on teaching students the skills they need to be able to successfully manage their money by partnering with local schools and providing financial literacy education to all.
