My name is Lana Williams. I am a  Certified Financial Education Instructor and Financial Coach. I started in the banking industry in a management training program where I worked in every department of the bank before earning my first bank branch as manager. My career has since been entirely in the financial sector. Positions I’ve held include Regional Sales Manager, Bank Industry Consultant, and Financial Adviser. My life changed when I decided I wanted more from life than working long hours so I could own a bunch of stuff. I gave up my career, moved into a lower paying position and started to live. I would not have been able to do that without the money management skills my parents taught me and my years in the industry. If I know anything, I know that there is a huge lack of personal finance education; yet it is probably the single most important. I am committed to changing that.
