Biography |
| Ann Michele Albertson |
Charlotte Ann Albertson has been directing cooking classes in Philadelphia and Florida for twenty-seven years. In operation since 1973, her school's enviable status as the area's longest standing, owes much to her unique combination of talent, training and total dedication. A Master's degree in Education from the University of Pennsylvania plus graduate studies at Penn's Annenberg School of Communication and Wharton School of Business gives her the skills to both recognize and recruit the finest teachers from the world of food.
Extensive travel coupled with classes at prestigious international cooking schools, among them La Varenne and Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, in kitchens in the top European restaurants, a summer at the American Embassy in Switzerland, and Beringer Vineyards in California's Napa Valley, provide her with insight into current food trends. Her position as consultant to food and wine companies, libraries and cultural institutions is further evidence of the high professional esteem in which she is held. She earned the Delaware Valley Restaurant Association's Panache award for her significant contribution to promoting education within the food industry.

| Jessica Burger |
Jessica was born and raised in South Africa. Growing up on their family farm, she learned that the core values of hard work, patience honesty and integrity are rewarded in the long term. Her life took a different twist when her father passed away in her junior year and her family was left in a difficult financial situation. She recalls the financial challenges and hardships of those years that often left her mother in tears, and developed a keen interest in the impact of money on life events.
The consequences of those experiences prompted Jessica to take financial responsibility for herself. After graduating from high school, she earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Pretoria in Economics, the first in her family to attend college. She joined the Standard Bank of South Africa and spent her banking career in their corporate banking division. The experience she gained in the banking world was incomparable. She learned that big corporations rely heavily on core fundamentals in times of challenges and economic hardships.
Motivated by her own financial experience and witnessing family members overwhelmed by the emotional and financial distress of divorce, cancer and death, Jessica later moved into the field of individual financial planning.
In 2005 her life took yet another twist when due to a career opportunity for her husband, her family relocated to the United States with their two young boys. Reminded by her previous experience that success is preceded by disciplined fundamental financial practices, Jessica anchored herself in her financial roots. On the one side fulfilling her roles as spouse and mother, and the other side learning more about finances in the United States.
When Jessica joined uFinancial Group in 2009, her interest was ignited by her experience on her family farm and her desire to empower women to be their financial best.
