About Karen Jeske

I’ve been a Financial Advisor with Thrivent for several years and I enjoy what I do. I am licensed in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, North & South Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, so I can provide you and others with financial guidance in many areas, I work for Thrivent because it’s a not-for-profit Fortune 500 financial services organization that’s been in business for more than 100 years. Through Thrivent, I can offer Christian financial guidance with a broad portfolio of products and services including planning, investments, mutual funds, managed accounts, life insurance, disability income insurance, long-term care insurance, and much more. Current technology allows me to share many opportunities on "your journey to be wise with money and live generously." In addition to my role with Thrivent, I serve on the board of directors for the St. Luke Foundation and am an active member of Rotary International.
