Mia McKee

Originally from South Florida, Mia has called California home for several years before moving to Knoxville, TN. She attended Liberty University where she achieved a bachelor's in financial planning with a minor in accounting. This past summer, Mia sat for the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® examination and has received a preliminary pass.

After spending the last four years studying in Virginia, Mia is excited to continue experiencing life near the mountains. She enjoys exploring creation, running, or staying home with a good book. Through college, Mia worked as both a NCAA academic tutor and a sports replay operator through the Liberty Broadcast Experience.

During her junior and senior years, Mia served as a Peer Financial Coach, helping college students and faculty understand their financial situation and manage their money with confidence. Mia is excited to use this experience on a larger scale and learn from those around her.
