Guest Bio – Bellaria Jimenez, CFP®, MBA | President, General Agent | MassMutual Tri-State

Growing up as an immigrant in New Jersey, I witnessed firsthand many of the mistakes made by people who didn’t fully grasp the financial system in this country. After college, I began my career as an advisor to help people understand why it’s so important to plan financially for the future. Now, as Managing Partner and President of a firm, I coach and educate individuals, businesses and employees on the importance of financial literacy. My hope is to pass along my financial knowledge to the next generation and that includes my son.

Working in this industry has empowered me to make my life matter – personally and professionally. I am passionate about helping others succeed in the career. I dedicate time to coaching and mentoring women in the business. The focus on financial literacy for children and college students is my contribution to future generations in educating them on what choices they have when making money decisions and career choices.

Industry involvement in AALU, MDRT, GAMA, FPA are very critical to me. I feel that being committed to my career means understanding and supporting the industry and advocating in areas that will help support our field.
