Background & Experience
Shaquana Nelson attended Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, where she started her worldly exploration and acquired her love for the Spanish language as an exchange student in Argentina. After graduating with a Dual-Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics and Economics, she later received a Master’s in Financial Management from United International Business School. This is a renowned business school based in Geneva, Switzerland, with a remote campus in Barcelona, Spain, where she lived and attended.
She shares an appreciation for cross-border financial planning due to the dissimilarities in economies she was exposed to throughout her globally focused education. This experience enlightened her to the lives of many displaced Americans around the world, such as military spouses, expats, young traveling professionals, and entrepreneurs, to name but a few. She soon realized that no matter the client’s location in the world, she cared about crafting their unique journey toward building generational wealth.
Away from the Office
Shaquana has many places to call home. She enjoys traveling solo, cooking traditional Jamaican cuisine, and serving others within the Christian community. She is happiest when merging cultures and bringing people together.
At Traditions, we believe in a comprehensive and client-centric approach to managing wealth. We design and implement a customized wealth management strategy based on every client’s unique situation.
