Experience
With a diverse professional background, Lena spent time in finance, web marketing, and hospitality before settling into full-time life as a freelance writer. Today, she spends most of her time nestled on her back porch in the Tampa Bay sunshine, enjoying the Gulf breeze and chirping seabirds as she writes for sites like TIME, Next Advisor, The Simple Dollar, Bankrate, Fiscal Tiger, ADT, and Investopedia.
Lena has managed to make her career a family affair. Her mother is an editing extraordinaire, while her little brother WWE wrestler Mojo Rawley and NFL BFF Rob Gronkowski keep fun and entertaining content coming their way. Still, she has been a small business owner since 2013, so she loves working with growing businesses. She uses her words to help entrepreneurs find success in their endeavors, whatever they may be.
Education
Lena attended George Mason University before turning her full-time attention to working at Morgan Stanley. After working in finance, event management and marketing, she is back in school studying Marketing at St. Petersburg College in order to broaden her deep knowledge of the area.
