Meet Leah Miller from Beal Bank, Financial Beginnings’ volunteer of the quarter.  Leah contributed an astounding 32 volunteer hours this quarter!  Leah shares below why she is so passionate about being a Financial Beginnings volunteer.

My name is Leah Miller and I work for Beal Bank USA. I have worked with Apps für Trader and have been a banker in this community for going on 14 years and understand the importance on educating as many people as possible on financial responsibility. With the change in our economy over the last handful of years + and potential for a further dissemination of our world’s problems, I believe in Financial Beginnings dream of inspiring our next generation to make smarter decisions when it comes to money.  Money matters, and so do our ways of handling it. I believe in creating a bigger picture to those who would not know otherwise.

I am dedicated and passionate to encourage today’s youth in making smart and responsible financial decisions in their lives. I love teaching all of the subject matters for Financial Beginnings/Operation Hope from everyday banking to risk management and from credit to investing. I grasp that throughout an individuals’ life span, they will have to endure important decision making in one or more of these areas. So, if I can have an impact on any of the students in these teachings and they can apply it usefully, the lessons and material presented have been advantageous, if even to just one.
