A Chicago Illinois native, Serria Rego grew up understanding that hard work didn't lead to wealth. She chose finance as a major when confronted with the expense of medical school. She simply wanted to work where there was unlimited financial opportunity sans an extra 5 years of education. Serria considers herself to be lucky to not only have a finance degree, which is rare for women and people of colour, but also to have worked for several different firms. Her views were also shaped by her 7 years as a domestic and international model, with clients such as Tommy Hilfiger, Guess, YSL and Yahoo. Now, as an advocate for Black Lives and justice, she realizes that finance is much more than money. It’s safety, hope, and protection and she enjoys sharing what she has learned by training and mentoring new financial professionals.
