TFCU's Personal Financial Coach

My name is Lisa Atkinson. I have been a part of the TFCU team since 1995 with a focus on resolving problems and finding solutions. I helped introduce Financial Coaching as a service for our members in 2006. I’ve been certified through the Credit Union Association program, and am currently a Dave Ramsey Master Financial Coach.

I have a passion for helping others and love what I do!
