About Me
My name is Ugbaad
I first developed a passion for financial literacy and education when I began my career in banking. Years later, I became a financial coach and ran the United Way of Washtenaw County’s Financial Coaching and Education programming. As the Financial Capability Programs manager, I came to understand the immense impact financial coaching could have on a person’s life and that there were many barriers to accessing it. While no longer coaching, I'm dedicated to exploring new and innovative ways to helping people achieve their financial goals.
