Meet the team
Passion and Talent
We are extremely lucky to have such a wonderful team. The Wealthy Habits staff is small in number but enormous in passion and talent. Each summer, a new group of interns join us and have always been the highlight of the organization. These amazing students have been great mentors to hundreds of students. Most importantly, our Board of Trustees help make it all possible. They selflessly donate their time and service to the organization and have been a key driver to the success of the organization.

Our Staff
 Tracy Tanner
Founder/CEO
I have always had the entrepreneurial spirit, creating home-based businesses over the years that allowed me to be there for my children when they were young. I joined the Jonathan D. Rosen Family Foundation in 2011 where I was tasked to use my skills as an entrepreneur and my experience as a mom to build an organization that focuses on long-term impact of its students.
The most rewarding part of what we do is seeing those we teach have the “aha” moment when they finally realize they are in control of their future and there is no better time to start than right now.

Erica Seifried
Office Manager
While at Georgia Tech majoring in business administration, I had the opportunity to intern at Wealthy Habits during the summer of 2014. Since graduating that following year, I have worked in the financial industry with a focus on processing mortgages. During that time, I witnessed many people pull money out of their retirement account just to have enough for a down payment and even more without emergency savings. I’m excited to be back and to be part of an organization that gives students the knowledge and tools to avoid such situations. I have seen how much the organization has grown over the years and am looking forward to helping the organization grow to the next level.
Kyna Fitero
Layout and Graphic Design
With a passion for design and a hope to become an instrument for the youth to excel, joining Wealthy Habits in 2016 was one of my best decisions. I graduated with a degree in Media Arts and have been able to use the skills I gained on a number of major Wealthy Habits projects. Additionally, my experience in teaching kids and teenagers has contributed significantly in developing new visuals and concepts for Wealthy Habits.
It gives me immense pleasure to see how the organization has grown over the past few years. I look forward to the continued growth of the organization, with many more children discovering their financial potential, as well as to the further enhancement of my skills, together with the team members.
