Sergio is a junior at UNC Charlotte pursuing a double major in Accounting and Finance. Drawing on both his academic background and experience in the financial services industry, he is passionate about making personal finance accessible and helping students build the knowledge and confidence to make informed financial decisions. As a first-generation college student, he understands the challenges of navigating higher education and personal finances without a roadmap. This experience shapes his commitment to serving as a resource for peers, particularly those without prior exposure to financial planning or budgeting. As part of the university's First-Gen Support Committee, he provides input and advocates for resources and community among his first-generation peers. He believes that financial freedom is the key to realizing your future, and works to expand access to financial literacy for students, connecting them with the tools and solutions they need to build a stronger financial foundation.
