About Jessica Meulendyke
I LOVE puzzling through the college application, acceptance, and payment process. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a family go from overwhelmed, "Oh no, how are we going to pay for college?" panic to "We are so excited to start this new stage in our lives!"
I love working with families to help them find financial clarity, live lives full of meaning and gratitude today, and guide them towards financial choices to reach their goals for tomorrow.
I started my career with Thrivent in the spring of 2021, after 10 years working in Nonprofit Fundraising, and was drawn to Thrivent as an organization dedicated to serving others and living our faith through everyday generosity.
I grew up in the Milwaukee area and joined the team while my family was living in Crystal Lake (where I rekindled an old friendship with Amy). I now live in Oconomowoc with my husband, John, three children, Maggie, Kate, and Colt, and our bulldog, Augie. When I'm not helping families, you can find us rock climbing at Devil's Lake, relaxing in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, or fixing up our old farmhouse!
