I’m Dr. Donna Prudhomme — former High School Principal, Director of Career & Technical Education, REALTOR®, and Board-Certified Credit Consultant with 26 years of experience in public education.

But more importantly, I’m someone who believes that financial freedom starts with education — and I know, firsthand, that this journey begins long before adulthood.  

Growing up, I didn’t have access to credit education. I’ve seen too many women face financial struggles that could’ve been avoided with the right knowledge early on.  

Working in the public school system for 26 years, I’ve personally witnessed how much is left out of traditional education, especially when it comes to preparing girls for financial independence.

Credit, in particular, is a topic that’s almost never covered in schools. Yet, it plays a massive role in our ability to build the future we dream of.

That’s why I founded Credit Education School—to help girls, from elementary school through college and beyond, understand, build, and manage credit. Many girls graduate with limited knowledge of credit, often falling into cycles of debt and damaging their credit scores before they even realize the consequences.

I’ve made it my mission to change that because College Girls Need Good Credit, Too!
