Michelle Corson, a finance professional, wanted to use her skills for social good.
“I got into my middle years and decided I wanted to use the skills and knowledge that I developed for some good purpose,” she exclaimed. “I wanted to use finance in a positive way and champion the idea of impact investing in Texas to solve some social problems.”
When she looked around, she saw that people were unable to get better jobs, access good food, or take their kids to the doctor—all because they lacked transportation to get them there in a time-efficient way. Corson focused on helping working Americans get affordable loans to buy newer cars that are fuel efficient and with low mileage. Newer cars are less likely to break down and if they do are under warranty.
