For the past two years, Zina has been kind enough to provide invaluable training for a citywide intern cohort, as part of summer training for emerging journalists. She takes complicated concepts and distills them down into easily understood information points, specifically tailored to young people just getting started in industry. She's thorough, but doesn't overwhelm, and she always provides opportunities for questions and individual follow up. Our cohorts routinely list Zina's talk as one of our highest-rated offerings provided, and we're grateful for her willingness to share her expertise.

I met Zina through Indy Maven and recently invited her to speak at Orangily’s Thursday morning series. She made compound interest fun, accessible, and memorable. Zina is polished, funny, and kind: the perfect mix for making finance feel approachable. I look forward to working with Zina again and recommend her to anyone seeking a great speaker or financial advisor!

Zina was a great guest speaker for my Professional Development Seminar class. She came and talked about student loans and financial wellness. She is very knowledgeable and gave students helpful information and answered all of their questions. It was a pleasure to have her speak to our class!

I asked Zina to speak about personal finance with a group of summer interns from news organizations across Indianapolis. She was the perfect fit as someone with who graduated from journalism school (like these students will) and is now a finance expert. She did a great job! Zina asked the students in advance for questions and made her presentation specific to their questions. It was super detailed and the students seemed to really love it.
