UNLV EMBA Alumni Speaker Series: Financial Literacy 1.0 with Freddy Lopez

Join the UNLV Executive MBA Program at Black Fire Innovation on April 18th at 5 pm as we highlight Cohort 21 Alumna Freddy Lopez!

Speaker Topic: Financial Literacy 1.0

Attendees can expect to gain an introductory knowledge of financial topics such as budgeting, taxes, savings, etc. By understanding the importance of different financial concepts, attendees will be prepared to make smarter and more efficient decisions when it comes to their finances and financial future.

Biography: Since graduating from UNLV with his finance degree in 2011, Freddy Lopez has been climbing the ladder professionally, and his success has led him to a career as a financial planner for WestPac Wealth Partners.

For many, this might be enough. Freddy, however, has never been one to turn his back on personal and academic growth. “I feel that it is important to remind myself and others that there is always time for education, and that it is possible to continue furthering your academic achievements while working toward success in industry,” Freddy says.

His desire to continue his lifelong learning journey has led him back to his alma mater, and as he joins Executive MBA Cohort 21, he’s looking forward to building upon his foundation of financial management knowledge while absorbing all he can about business from his fellow cohort members. At the same time, Freddy wants to inspire his family. He is one of eight siblings, and has six nieces and nephews. All of them, he says, could benefit from the same academic experience that he’s had. “I believe UNLV offers a quality education through its curriculum and services offered,” he says. “I am a proud UNLV Rebel and Nevada native.”
