Tiffany McCoy
Financial Literacy Advocate
Personal Notes
My journey into financial education didn’t begin with a textbook – it began with real life. I’ve made mistakes, learned hard lessons, asked questions I didn’t know I should have been asking sooner, and slowly built confidence around money through experience, education and service.
What I’ve learned is this: financial literacy is not about being perfect with money – it’s about being empowered by it.
Through my work with teens, families, and communities, I’ve seen how just a little bit of knowledge can change the way someone thinks about their future. That’s why I’m passionate about making financial education approachable, practical, and real – not intimidating or out of reach.
I’m truly honored to be here – walking in my purpose providing financial literacy tools and knowledge I was missing.
