A Day to Celebrate
Posted by Mary Caraccioli | Filed under Announcement
It was a big weekend- Mother’s Day and Graduation! This card from my daughter was the highlight.
Later in the day another treat- hearing my name called at the University of Pennsylvania Graduation. It was a lot of years in the making- but I finished something that was near and dear to my heart. See the article below for details.
TV Money Expert Adds New Credentials to Her Financial Toolkit
PHILADELPHIA (May 13, 2012) – Television host Mary Caraccioli participated in graduation ceremonies at the University of Pennsylvania where she earned her Masters of Liberal Arts degree. Caraccioli’s concentration in the multi-disciplined program was money and leadership. Her thesis examined the interconnectedness of money and beauty as motivators and a source of stress in professional women’s lives.
Caraccioli said “Working toward this Master’s degree gave me the opportunity to step back from my day to day money reporting and really examine how money affects us emotionally. Through exhaustive research and one on one interviews I gained new insight into how money drives us and how it creates stress – no matter how big the paycheck.”
The Emmy® Award winning journalist is the host of the nationwide financial reality show “We Owe What?” produced by 6ABC WPVI-TV, airing on the Live Well Network and weekends on ABC owned stations in the nation’s top television markets. The show offers practical advice to families struggling with their financial lives. “We Owe What?” is in its first season.
Caraccioli also has earned an MBA degree from Drexel University and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Pittsburgh. She is an EMMY® Award-winning financial journalist who has a track record for creating award-winning programs for broadcast, cable and digital mediums.
