For the next several weeks Nico will be sharing tips and advice from local professionals on topics that might not be covered in high school. This program is for teens and if you've outgrown your teenage years or just aren't able to make it to the program, there will be a recap on Wednesdays on our RPL blog, Shelf Respect.

Today's topic is budgeting, led by Tori Filas from our community partner, Virginia Credit Union. 

Tori Filas is an accomplished educator who specializes in curriculum development, instructional design, and educational technology.  She comes to Virginia Credit Union following a recognized twenty year career with Henrico County Public Schools. Each presentation that Tori creates for elementary, middle, and high school learners is centered around Virginia’s SOLs for economics and personal finance.  When it comes to spending, saving, and managing money, Tori is available to help students from Kindergarten to grade 12 learn how to make good financial decisions through engaging classroom lessons and activities. She is passionate about equity and inclusion in financial education and believes financial success is attainable for all.
