Wendi Olerich

Wendi possesses an associate’s degree from the American Institute of Business and has been working for a number of years as a trading assistant for a large Des Moines employer. Wendi was recently caught up in a department wide layoff. Although Wendi took advantage of the outplacement services offered by her former employer, she is still searching for new employment and would like to remain in the financial sector. Wendi’s husband is a contractor who works for a small local employer and Wendi has always provided the families health insurance through her employment. One of Wendi’s greatest concerns is what will happen when her COBRA benefits run out.
