Kate Mielitz

Dr. Mielitz (aka Dr. M) is a dynamic, engaging, and award-winning educator in the Personal Financial Planning Program in the College of Health and Human Sciences. Her favorite classes are PFP 105--Introduction to Personal Financial Planning (because she gets to help students create strong foundational relationships with money and investigate the broad field of financial planning) and PFP 456--Financial Counseling and Communications (because as an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC®) she loves to help students develop and apply their person-first skills in personal finance conversations. Dr. M got her start in the financial services and personal finance field after getting her undergraduate degree in Broadcasting and uses her long and winding path to get to where she is today to emphasize that everyone's journey through school, life, and with money, is defined by their culture, lived experiences, goals, and values.
