Education

University of Missouri
 Jenny Kerr is a personal finance contributor who graduated from the University of Missouri, where she studied journalism with a focus on business and consumer reporting. She built her early experience across a regional newsroom, a consumer finance education project and a nonprofit financial-literacy program, working close to the questions ordinary readers ask when debt, bills and savings collide. Her writing focuses on budgeting, debt reduction, emergency savings, credit habits and the everyday financial decisions that shape household security. She writes in a practical, skeptical voice: plain enough to use, careful about risks and not easily impressed by polished money advice that hides fees, pressure or unrealistic promises.
