Today, she continues to champion women in finance through mentoring, serving as a role model, and inspiring young students, especially girls, to pursue careers in finance. Lena actively participates in podcasts and webinars, dedicated to spreading financial literacy education far and wide.

With a Bachelor of Science from York College of Pennsylvania in 1999, where she helped establish the college's first Investment Club, Lena went on to earn her Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®) Certification at the American College and her Master of Science in Financial Services from the Institute of Business and Finance.
