Meet Owen Such
Junior, Finance Major with a Minor in PFFP
Hometown: Salem, Oregon
Hi, I’m Owen! I decided to become a Financial Coaching Cat because I want to help my peers navigate their financial stresses and concerns. My favorite part of coaching is helping people figure out what works best for them, and ultimately seeing them achieve their financial goals.
What I can help with:
- Creating a budget that actually works for student life
- Tracking spending and spotting habits
- Understanding credit cards and healthy credit use
- Finding ways to stretch a limited foo or grocery budget
- Exploring how values connect to financial decisions
Outside of Coaching:
I am involved in the Financial Planning Club, where I am the Vice President, and I serve as the student liaison for the Financial Planning Association of Arizona. In my downtime, I enjoy golfing, fishing, and hiking with friends.
Personal Money Lesson:
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out. Do the little things now, and your future self will thank you!
When I Coach:
I typically meet with students in the afternoons and early evenings. I am available for in-person and online sessions, whatever works best for you.
Meet Grant Olance
Sophomore, Finance Major with a Minor in PFFP
Hometown: Gilbert, AZ
Hi, I’m Grant! I decided to become a peer financial coach to help students feel more confident about their money and less overwhelmed by day-to-day financial stress. I especially enjoy showing students how small, manageable steps—like budgeting or saving—can lead to long-term financial confidence and independence.
What I can help with:
- Creating a budget that supports both academics and student life
- Building savings and starting an emergency fund
- Balancing work and school income with expenses
- Understanding credit cards and healthy credit use
- Setting short- and long-term financial goals
Outside of Coaching:
I am a member of the Pride of Arizona Marching Band and Pep Band, and enjoy both performing and being part of the game day atmosphere. In my free time, I also play tennis and enjoy exploring new places in Tucson.
Personal Money Lesson:
“Spending money to show people how much money you have is the fastest way to have less money.”
When I Coach:
My coaching sessions are usually held on M/F mornings and T/Th afternoons. I am available for both in-person and online sessions during those times.
