The ‘Women in Financial Planning Breakfast’ is a cornerstone event of the FPA Professionals Congress. Every year, event delegates gather to hear a prominent female role model talk about their personal and professional secrets to success.

“Jennifer started her career at aged 16 and became founding reporter of Channel Nine’s Sunday program. Her commitment to world class journalism has literally taken her around the world to interview world leaders for programs such as 60 Minutes, 7.30 Report and Lateline.”
“Congress attendees will also hear about Jennifer’s experience balancing motherhood and a demanding career, and her insights on the key issues impacting both female planners and female clients. Jennifer has been an advocate of planning for financial security from a young age,” Mark added.
Jennifer continues to work in all facets of the media including regular contributions to radio, TV, print media and travel magazines.
