Lisa Platonova, PFP®, PhD in Economics

Lisa brings years of real banking experience into simple, practical lessons that help you understand money, build credit, avoid common mistakes, and create real financial confidence — early.

Her goal is to help student to move from “I have no idea how this works” to “I’ve got this.“

Lisa believes financial confidence shouldn’t start at 30 — it should start now.

Smart money. Clear mindset. Strong future.

Message From Your Instructor

“While I was working as an advisor, I repeatedly saw my clients saying — and sometimes even crying after the appointment — “Why did no one teach us this before?” This made me think about a different approach to financial literacy as a life skill in order to avoid common mistakes that can affect your future.

As a mom of two teenagers, I see the value of sharing this information at this stage to support young adults in achieving their lifelong goals.

I’m looking forward to seeing you in the classes. Finance doesn’t have to be a mystery — it can be fun to learn.”

Your instructor, Lisa
