Financial literacy is of paramount importance for women. It empowers us to make informed financial decisions, secure our financial future, and break down economic disparities. Educating and promoting financial literacy among women is not just a matter of economic empowerment but also a step towards a brighter future for all.

I come from an industry that is predominantly powered by #women However, even today, most industries are dominated by men.

The percentage of women in the #workforce in the U.S is 46.38% Women remain #underrepresented at all levels, in most industries. However, know that when you call 9-1-1 it’s likely that the #hero under the headset is a #strong , #brave , #courageous #female According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report in 2021 - 74% if 911 operators are women. “People need to see leaders who look like themselves, to understand that it’s possible for them.” Happy #womenshistorymonth #womenempowerment #womenchangemakers #genderequality #911dispatch #911dispatcher #dispatchers #publicsafety #publicsector #everydayheroes

It is not possible for me to put into words my gratitude for the learning opportunities afforded to me (and the field) by Dr. Ala'i-Rosales.

(Ala'i-Rosales et al., 2003, p. 161) Ala’i-Rosales, S., Thorisdottir, S., & Etzel, B. C. (2003). Behavioral teacher training programs. In K. S. Budd & T. Stokes (Eds.), A small matter of proof: the legacy of Donald M. Baer (pp. 151–165). Reno, NV: Context Press.
