More About Jena
My favorite part about being an advisor is the connections I make with clients. It’s one thing to pull a tool from the financial toolbox to answer a question, and quite another to witness how an advisor’s support can nurture and sometimes transform the vision people have for themselves.
I serve my community by sitting on the PTA Board for my daughters’ school in Albany and provide pro bono financial planning services in the community. Helping the world from where we are and what we have to give is one of my core values.
I’m looking forward to working with the YWCA to support their youth financial literacy programs. I feel it is important to provide an avenue for young people to understand how to manage their personal finances.
