Hello! This is my second year working as a Peer Financial Educator. I’m a sophomore majoring in Finance with a minor in Economics here at UW-Whitewater, and I’m passionate about helping students strengthen their financial knowledge and confidence. I’m excited to continue assisting fellow students with their finances and look forward to meeting with anyone who schedules an appointment! In my free time, I enjoy lifting weights, watching football, investing, hiking and spending time with friends and family.
Fanny Anguiano:
Hello! I’m a junior majoring in Marketing with a focus on Digital Marketing and AI, and this is my first year as a Peer Financial Educator. Having spent time in the workforce before returning to school, I know how confusing and overwhelming money management can feel, especially when juggling school, work, and life. I’m excited to help fellow students feel empowered, not intimidated, by their finances. My goal is to make money talk less stressful and a little more fun. Outside of work, I live happily outnumbered by my pets: two cats and a dog. I love traveling, working out, and diving into all things AI.

Tiana Heitmann:
Hello! I’m a junior majoring in Entrepreneurship and Finance with an emphasis in Financial Planning. This is my first year as a Peer Financial Educator. Through my experience working at a credit union, I’ve seen firsthand how confusing and overwhelming finances can sometimes be for students. That experience made me want to help other students better understand their finances and feel more confident making financial decisions. I'm excited to meet and get to know other students while helping them with any financial questions they may have. In my free time, I enjoy reading, spending time with friends and family, and doing all sorts of crafts.
