has found way to join her interests in both education and finance as an Oklahoma State University state Extension specialist in personal finance.
Wang's primary focus areas include educating women about finances, teaching others about financial planning for retirement, and the economic aspects of aging.
“Financial planning is very important. I believe some people don’t have a solid financial plan because they simply don’t know how to do it,” Wang said. “I love working in Extension because of the outreach possibilities and helping people better understand the importance of financial planning. Through Extension, we have the opportunity to make connections with people and make their lives better.”
Wang said she enjoys conducting research and is interested in how people, particularly women and caregivers, can apply the research findings to improve their lives.
She graduated with a degree in education from Carthage in 2017!
