    Bio:

    Janelle Hunt is a native of Wilmington, Delaware, but she relocated in October 2012 to the Alexandria, V.A., area to build a career in IT security. Janelle later became a certified authorization professional (CAP) to enhance her marketability in the IT security arena and worked as an IT security analyst for a leading Fortune 500 company. In 2020 Janelle moved back to her hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, to serve as a full-time caregiver for her mother. In January 2023, Janelle recently became a federal employee as an IT Specialist.

    Janelle is a proud daughter, sister, aunt to a nephew and two nieces, and godmother to two. Ms. Hunt is passionate about encouraging women of all ethnicities, and this passion was ignited when she obtained her undergraduate degree in women’s studies from the University of Delaware. Ms. Hunt feels that in our daily lives, there are always opportunities to encourage women – at the office, while shopping, at lunch, at church, and the list goes on. From giving a simple uplifting word to providing a listening ear, Janelle knows that just showing you care can make all the difference. Along the way, Janelle never gave up when she was faced with trials and tribulations; she remained steadfast with the help of Jesus Christ. Through it all, she continues to inspire women, and she shares her testimony with any woman who needs to be enlightened on the goodness of Jesus. Her message is to “walk by faith, not by sight,” and she encourages women when she shares this scripture:

    “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9 -NIV)

    Join us for another insightful episode of the Pockets of Knowledge podcast hosted by Desiree Stanley. In this episode, we explore the essential topic of financing to drive business growth, a critical subject for both new and experienced entrepreneurs.

    My special guest, Anne Dalfiume, a seasoned expert in business financing, shares her wealth of knowledge on successfully navigating the complexities of securing funding for your startup. Anne offers valuable insights on understanding your financial needs, engaging with potential lenders, assessing progress, and making informed financial decisions.

Don't miss this opportunity to expand your pockets of knowledge and empower your entrepreneurial endeavors.

    Bio:

    Anne’s finance journey began at an investment bank. It was a small operation, but learned a lot, helping with different aspects of the business. She soon realized it wasn’t where she wanted to be, which transitioned her into banking. She began at Wells Fargo Bank as a business banker, was promoted to cash management, and then left for the opportunity for a management promotion. 

    She worked her way up to regional manager for Countrywide Bank, built a successful sales team, built out the region, and decided to go back into sales. She worked at regional banks and national and international banks, so it’s given her a good knowledge of lending criteria because not all banks are the same. Working at one of these banks, she realized she needed to make a change. She was partnered with a manager who wasn’t ethical, and despite informing management about the unethical behavior, her request to change offices was denied. 

    She left the bank to become a business loan broker. She obtained her license, and that began a whole new career. She knew a lot about business finance, but she realized how much more was possible when she became a broker.
