SWAG Program Alumni, Erin M. Erin

Allow us to introduce one of our SWAG program alumni, Erin M. Erin entered Yunion’s SWAG program as a 9th grader. We’ve had the pleasure of not only mentoring Erin as a student but also as an employee.
Erin was recently featured in an article by Essence.com. Read what they had to say.
“AAMU Student Helps Create a game for Minecraft, and Ally Financial and Big Sean Have Launched It!
AAMU junior marketing major Erin M. was one of four HBCU interns who created “Fintropolis,” a new world in the wildly popular Minecraft, designed to teach middle school students about money.
Fintropolis launched this month and has already been downloaded 700,000” – Essence.com
We are very proud of the woman she’s become. We continue to look forward to following her on her journey.
