=​Welcome to Mrs. McAdams' Personal Finance Class =

Instructor Information
====I am a graduate of Mount Mary College and earned my Master's degree at UW-Whitewater, focusing on business and educational administration. I have been teaching at Nathan Hale since 2001. While teaching at Hale, I have focused on finance and teach various finance courses and accounting. I am also a Clock Club graduate member of the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions Institute requiring nine credits in Personal Finance and Economics.====

When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my Granddaughter, Kailey, and training my dog, Mandy, (who I rescued from Kentucky). I am a **Brewer** and **P a cker** fan -- yes -- I can finally say that I like Aaron Rodgers and I forgive Brett Favre for abandoning the Packers!
