Graduating from the University of Rochester in 1979, Jane started her career in the mutual fund industry in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1986, she was accepted into E. F.

In 2000, Jane happily partnered with Commonwealth Financial Network®, a Registered Investment Adviser–broker/dealer that helps independent advisors serve their clients. Commonwealth members take great pride in the personal service they provide to all clients. With more than 40 years in the financial industry, Jane is a seasoned veteran who has seen great bull markets and terrifying bear markets. More importantly, Jane strives to be a tried-and-true wealth consultant, and someone you can trust.
