As a Certified Financial Planner™, she has a diverse background. Having worked with everything from Fortune 500s to small- and mid-sized privately held companies, she now chooses to channel her time and attention into one-on-one advising. Both personally and professionally, Jen has been a long-standing advocate for women in the workforce, and specializes in helping her clients navigate emotionally-charged periods of transition, particularly after divorce or the loss of a loved one. With her compassionate nature and innate ability to identify and clarify unspoken needs, she takes pride in her ability to guide and advise.
