About MMMC

The Mountie Money Management Center is one of the newest editions to the Mt. SAC roster of student support services. As a Title V funded program, the MMMC is student-centered while welcoming all members of the Mt. SAC family to participate in student-led workshops, interdepartmental/program collaborations, and professional development for all staff and faculty. Throughout the years leading up to our Spring 2021 launch, our program founder and faculty coordinator for the MMMC, Lisa Amos, has personally championed Financial Literacy efforts through her tireless devotion to connecting students to information and resources. In addition to leading the MMMC, Lisa is also an AFC®️ (Accredited Financial Counselor) who is ready to help you with all your personal finance questions; she, along with the entire MMMC Staff are just a click away!

Miraya Aguirre
MMMC Student Ambassador
Hi! I am Miraya (Mariah) I am 27 years old. I have my pride and joy her name is Maya. I am a first-generation college student.  My major is nutrition and dietetics AST, to transfer to Cal Poly Pomona, where I will pursue my bachelor's in nutrition. I am a part of the MMMC because like most people, I am illiterate when it comes to responsible finance. And of course, I need to be extra responsible since I have a tiny human looking at what I am always doing. I need to learn the tips and tricks from our workshops as a student ambassador so I can help my daughter in the future. Since this is not necessarily something that is taught in schools growing up. With our workshops ranging from how to know your rights as renters in the state of CA, how to buy a car, how to file your taxes, how to properly budget, 401Ks, Roth IRAs,etc.
