The Real Dee Abernathy

You will recognize Dee as the friendly voice behind the phone excited to assist our CWMP clients with various requests and account activities. She is very personable and easy to talk to. Behind the voice is a family-oriented woman who seizes every opportunity to experience new adventures.

Dee was born and raised in Pensacola, Florida and played just about every sport that was offered. She even received a Track Scholarship for college. With a husband in the military, they made the move from Florida to California 8 years ago. Family and friends are important to Dee and she intentionally spends time with them every chance she has … the more the merrier, as she grew up in a small family and has always wanted that big family feel.

Dee was in the Culinary Arts program in her high school and went to the annual Culinary Competition each year. She actually won 3rd in the state for one of the competitions and received a Culinary Scholarship for college. Her dream for the future includes becoming a professional chef one day and own her own restaurant.

Changing pace, however, Dee decided that finance is the career field that she truly desired and so she pursued that track instead. Her dream is to become a financial coach and help adults build a basic budget and gain financial competency so they can build a future for themselves and their families. She still imagines combining her passion for the culinary arts and knowledge of the financial industry so that someday she can serve people with the help of a good budget and comfort food.

Dee loves being outside, believing that sunshine is the best Vitamin D a person can have … and a drink from Starbucks is the icing on the cake. Admittedly, the local coffee shop has her drink ready for her before she even orders! She loves traveling to new places and soaks up every chance she has to experience different foods and cultures.
