  Kathryn Greiner, AFC

Director of Credit Education, University of Michigan Credit Union

Kathryn has been helping people improve their budgeting skills since 1976, and has been called the "budget guru" by the Ann Arbor Observer. Through the University of Michigan Credit Union, Kathryn provides budget counseling as a free service to UMCU members.

Trained and certified as a credit counselor, Kathryn developed a credit education program to teach consumers the skills needed to establish workable budgets, avoid bankruptcy, and improve creditworthiness. In private counseling sessions, she teaches how to control spending, reduce debt, begin to save and still enjoy life! With her unique blend of compassion, realism, and humor she helps them find sensible, workable answers to their financial problems.

Kathryn hosted a call-in radio talk show called "Credit Line" on WAAM Radio for two years, has produced four credit education videos and her articles have been published in several credit union newsletters. Ms. Greiner is the editor of ON MY OWN, a newsletter on the wise use of credit by and for high school students.
