Orange County, CA

My name is Jenneffer M. Vazquez Moran. I immigrated to the United States from Mexico when I was just three years old, and adapting to a new culture helped shape who I am today. Growing up, I learned the values of hard work, resilience, and community. I began my educational journey at Santa Ana College, earning an Associate Degree in Business Administration. From there, I continued to UCLA, where I graduated with honors, earning a Bachelor's degree in Human Biology and Society, with a minor in Entrepreneurship. Balancing studies, work, and motherhood as a single mom was challenging, but it taught me effective time management and the importance of perseverance.

Throughout my career, I’ve had a passion for helping families. I began as a family and birth photographer, later expanding into roles as a doula and newborn care specialist while navigating life as a young military wife. After going through a significant life transition, I realized how essential financial literacy is to achieving financial freedom. This understanding deepened my calling to guide families in a new way: through financial planning. Motivated to make a difference, I pursued a Certificate in Personal Finance from the University of California, Irvine, and transitioned into the financial services field.

I would describe myself as compassionate, driven, and resourceful. I’ve always been someone who genuinely cares about the well-being of others, and I love building strong connections with people. Whether I’m working with new parents or helping a client navigate their finances, I bring empathy and a sense of calm to every situation. My approach is to combine optimism with practicality, finding solutions that make life a bit easier and a lot more manageable.

Fitness and the outdoors are my escape and source of joy. I find freedom and peace when I’m out golfing, running or hiking, pushing my physical limits and soaking in nature’s beauty. These activities help me stay balanced and focused, both in my personal and professional life. But my greatest love is spending time with my two boys, Everett and Caspian. They are my biggest supporters and constant motivation to keep growing and achieving more.

My career began in a different field—as the founder of Jenne Vazquez Photography, where I specialized in capturing intimate, special moments for families. My passion for supporting others naturally extended into my work as a doula and newborn care specialist, guiding families through some of their most significant moments.

As my career progressed, I decided to take on a new challenge and transitioned into financial planning. After earning my Certificate in Personal Finance from UC Irvine, I began freelancing as a writer at Lady Finance, where I focused on making financial topics accessible and engaging. I later joined Dynasty Family Office as an executive assistant and paraplanner, helping clients address various financial needs. Through the Amplified Planning Externship, I gained hands-on experience across various aspects of financial planning, further honing my skills. I recently obtained my California Life and Health Insurance License (#4410552), and I am currently working toward my Property and Casualty license. In the future, I plan to sit for the Certified Financial Planning exam to earn my CFP marks.

In my role, I get to blend my passion for helping others with my financial expertise, creating a rewarding career that enables me to make a meaningful impact. Beyond my work, I am deeply involved in the community. I’ve volunteered at Isaiah House – Orange County Catholic Worker, the Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC), and WISEPlace shelter for women. My true passion lies in helping women and children develop financial literacy, empowering them to make informed decisions and gain financial independence. Currently, I serve as an executive board member and co-treasurer of the National Hispanic Business Women’s Association (NHBWA), where I continue to support and uplift women in business.
