Jenny Aragon:
On January 2006 I helped my husband open Funding Street Mortgage in the city of Downey. Establishing a new business has been one of the best learning experiences in my life. While building the foundation of the business I also continued to help people with their Real Estate Lending needs focusing mainly on the Spanish-speaking community. By being involved with NLBWA-LA I was offered the prospect to further my career in business. I have recently joined Bank of America, the Bank of Opportunity. As a Business Client Manager I bring business solutions to companies of $2.5 million to $30 million in sales. It is exciting to be part of a company that strives to help all businesses succeed. I have served on the Board of Directors for NLBWA Los Angeles Chapter since January 2006 where I have served as Secretary and Membership Chair prior to becoming President early in 2007. Not only has NLBWA-LA been a great place for personal growth but it has taken my career to new levels. It is an honor to be part of an organization whose mission is to empower the Latina Businesswoman.

Prior professional experience in Purchasing Management at the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) in Lakewood, California and budget analyst in Membership Development at AARP headquarters in Washington, DC
My family and I moved to the United States when I was 7 years old; we came with big dreams to succeed and each day we are grateful to be in the Land of Opportunities. As a young woman, I always saw my future in the business world. I attended Cal State Dominguez Hills to pursue a career in Business Administration. I became a mother my freshman year in college but continued to attend school while helping my father run one of his businesses during the week and working for Zales Jewelers on the weekends. I graduated in May of 2002 with a Bachelors of Science degree in Business Management in the top 10% of my class. Upon completing my education I wanted a career that would allow me to help people and at the same time have the opportunity to reach my financial goals.
I started my career with Wells Fargo Financial. As a Credit Manager I realized that I could help people by educating them on loan products that would improve their financial situation. I enjoyed working for Wells Fargo for many reasons, one being their dedication to customer service. After leaving Wells Fargo Financial I had the opportunity to work in the mortgage industry.

She stayed in business for 5 years and learned the hard knocks of being self-employed. (Where was NLBWA then?) She had the American dream and never knew how good it feels to own your own business. For the past 4 years she has been the Marketing Advisor for the Palomar College GEAR UP Partnership Program in North San Diego County.
