Tedx Jersey City - November 2015
Why occupy when you can unify? Steering society with the help of the stock market is not a new concept, but in an age where money dominates the world, it is important to see investing as an instrument for change.

After nearly a decade of experience in the financial world, Jennifer is an economic contributor for The Street and Seeking Alpha, and recently founded her own firm, GradMoney, which develops education programs for investing strategies specifically for young adults and novice investors.
