The "Why"
Jennifer's passion for the financial services industry was born in 2005 when she was introduced to the Certified Financial Planning program in college. She was drawn to the idea of helping people, ideally in a profession that didn’t involve the sight of blood. This led her to embark on a journey with Merrill Lynch and over the span of 15 years, she worked her way up to the Financial Planner she is today.
