A Bit About Gayle
My name is Gayle, and I’ve been a director in Nationwide’s marketing and communications department for three years. I am thrilled to be heading to LA in February. My office is in Columbus, Ohio, so in addition to rubbing elbows with the elite SOBU panelists and diverse audience members, I am looking forward to not wearing mittens for a few days.
Since we’re all about financial literacy here, I thought I’d share my big “aha money moment.” When I was in college, I had to start managing my own checkbook. It turns out that ballparking finances isn’t exactly the best strategy! But after a misstep or two, I started to get the hang of it.
I have a 5-year-old son at home now, and trust me, I am already discussing money to him! He’s pretty smart, so I am sure he will get the hang of it much sooner than I did.
