Dependable Financial Guidance for Heroes and Their Families

• My name is Charlene Zielin, and I’m honored to serve as a Thrivent financial professional dedicated to helping people at every stage of life create meaningful and practical financial plans. At Thrivent, we see money not as the destination, but as a powerful tool that can help you live a life filled with purpose, gratitude, and fulfillment. I’m here to help you make the most of all you’ve been given so you can focus on what truly matters most.

• With 29 years of experience as a nurse and healthcare leader, I’ve witnessed firsthand the unique challenges and stresses that come with serving in healthcare, law enforcement, and the military. As the wife of an Army veteran and police sergeant, and a proud mom to two police officer sons, I understand deeply the sacrifices and resilience required by families who dedicate their lives to serving others. That’s why I’m truly passionate about providing peace of mind and trusted financial guidance to healthcare professionals, first responders, and military families.

• My goal is to make financial decisions easier for you by offering clear guidance, educational resources, and practical solutions that fit your individual circumstances. I am deeply committed to supporting the spouses and loved ones—the true supporters behind our community heroes—so they can feel secure and empowered as they navigate their financial paths. It brings me joy to help women, families, and those who serve our nation connect their financial choices to their values and long-term aspirations, instilling both confidence and peace of mind for the road ahead.

• Above all, I am driven to give back in a way that honors the dedication and selflessness of those who serve our communities. I am here to be a trusted partner, standing by your side, guiding you toward financial freedom and a life rich in meaning—so you and your loved ones can thrive.
