I got the opportunity to chat with Rianka and hear her best financial tips, greatest professional achievements, and her thoughts on the reported shortage of women in the financial services industry.
Why did you decide to work in the financial industry?
Growing up, I really didn’t know anything about personal finance; I never knew there was an opportunity to come into this as a career.
I took a personal finance class as an elective in college and that’s where I started learning about 401(k)s, disability insurance, credit scores, credit reports, and I thought: why isn’t this a required course to take? I was blown away by the information I learned in that class. I would learn this personal financial information and want to share it.
