Financial Wellness Peer Coaches

The Financial Wellness Program offers an internship that features peer coaching as one of its main components. Our peer coaches have demonstrated strong abilities in interpersonal communication, problem-solving, and personal finance. The peer coaches are trained rigorously by Financial Literacy Lead, Ramiro J. Atristain-Carrion before they are eligible to work with Dominican students in personal finance matters. They guide students on the Financial Wellness resources available, help them create a budget, show strategies for saving money, paying off student loans, investing tips, and so much more! Learn more about our peer coaches here and make an appointment today!

Patricia Adamczyk

My name is Patricia Adamczyk and I am working towards my English BA with a concentration in writing. I am also a Mazzucchelli Honors scholar and have a minor in marketing. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing tennis and collecting cute notebooks. After graduation, I hope to earn an MA in English and work in the advertising industry as a copywriter so I can explore my creativity in a business environment. I am excited to be a peer coach because I want to empower fellow Dominican students on their journey to financial success! I want to teach students that there is so much more to personal finance beyond spending mindfully and that there are ways to make their money work for them.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my two cats and friends.
