Kristin Williams began at Consumer United in September, working full time as a Consumer United Advocate. She loves to save Consumer United members money on basic services, especially for insurance products. Since Williams' arrival, Consumer United has expanded its reach to New Jersey and hired more people."It's amazing to see how much the company has grown in such a short time," she says.
What's Williams' favorite personal finance advice? She believes one should shop around, especially at the grocery store. Williams usually sticks to the store brand. "I always look at the price per pound/ounce to know that I'm getting the best deal for my money, and I hardly ever buy name-brand products." Williams also uses a monthly budget as a tool fo saving, and keeping her expenditures in check.
During her off time, Williams volunters at a local theater company called Bad Habit Productions. She loves every minute of it. Williams just finished working on "The Laramie Project," marking her fifteenth show. She works mostly behind the scenes, usually as a stage manager, director or in lighting/sound design. Not only is Williams dedicated to theater, she's a photographer as well. She does mostly landscape work, but loves photographing people.
Williams adds, "Consumer United not only helps people save money but we help people get set up with things they need at a great price, with only a phone call or a few minutes spent on the internet."
Before Consumer United, Williams graduated from Washington State University in May. She worked for an editor of a Scientific Journal while in school earning her degree in Entrepreneurship.
