Thea Galenes works as a Marketing and Retirement Coordinator in our San Antonio, Texas, office. She joined the team in 2020 as an administrative coordinator for the Retirement department and has since broadened her role to also support company-wide marketing and communications.

In the Retirement division, Thea provides operational support and oversight by coordinating fiduciary reviews and retirement plan education meetings, managing post-meeting compliance and service tasks, evaluating processes for efficiency, and developing new procedures to enhance both internal operations and client service.

Drawing on skills she cultivated from her previous career as an editor, Thea also provides support to the Marketing and Communications department, where her focus includes copy and content editing, mailing list management, and special projects as needed.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in English in Virginia and went on to earn a Master of Fine Arts in poetry at the University of Florida.
