Sasha Meretzky’s past career includes running a women’s wellness center and a glamping site, but so far her current position as an agent for New York Life is the best for work-life balance.  She works with small businesses, families, and people thinking about retirement, working closely with clients to build relationships that last a lifetime.  “I love my work because financial well-being isn’t just about numbers, it’s about giving clients the peace of mind to live their ideal lives and enjoy what they love.”

In her time off Sasha likes to paddle board, dance and is active in her spiritual congregation. She also likes reading, crafting and watching Hot Ones on YouTube.

Meeting other entrepreneurial women through WESO programs and networking opportunities has been inspiring.  She looks to WESO to help her grow her trusted circle of friends so she can help them protect the family’s future, prepare for retirement, grow wealth, preserve assets for future generations, and protect and grow the business.

Jenai May
Silver Rockets Web & Graphic Design

Jenai May is the geeky creative and "pixel perfectionist" behind Silver Rockets Web & Graphic Design (est. 1996). Over the years, Jenai's personable approach has earned a loyal following of happy clients. She is passionate about designing WordPress websites and graphic elements that effectively and authentically represent her customers' brands. She adores working with clients who are newly embarking on new business ventures and sharing in the excitement of every launch.

Business success has not come easy for Jenai. This is partly due to being a woman working in a traditionally male industry, yet mostly because she’s navigated the business realm with a neurodivergent mind at the helm. Now Jenai is offering NeuroSpicy Business Mentoring for those who are similarly burdened. Her gentle methods alleviate the challenges and anxiety commonly faced by entrepreneurs living with spectrum qualities such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and giftedness.

Even though Jenai works from home, she’s not been entirely alone. This is largely because of WESO. Jenai is WESO's Marketing Director and has served on the board since 2017. Gratitude fuels her desire to volunteer. This is because of the phenomenal women of WESO and the heaps of education and support they provide, which have enabled Jenai to achieve more than she ever imagined herself capable of doing. To Jenai, WESO is not just a business network, it is a community.

Beyond the business realm, Jenai is a multifaceted nerdy historian whose interests are scattered among noveling, genealogy, calligraphy, numismatics, embroidery, gaming, and vintage cookery. She shares her home with two daughters, a neurotic dog, lazy cat, kindly corn snake, and an elderly chicken (who begrudgingly stays outside). Jenai also volunteers her time as founder of the Southern Oregon Creatives Network (SOCN) and as the Rogue Valley’s Municipal Liaison (ML) for NaNaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month).

Wenda Puzzo
Scott Lewis Group, John L Scott

Wenda Puzzo helps people to make one of the biggest decisions and investments of their lives - their home. She also works with local companies and out-of-the-area investors buying and selling commercial real estate. Most of her clients are people looking for a partner on their team when making a real estate decision. She has always loved helping people, so having a career that allows her to fulfill this desire is a natural fit.

Over the last year, being involved in WESO has been a fulfilling experience for Wenda.

"I have met many fun, intelligent wonderful women and am looking forward to meeting more women in this next year. Many of the programs at WESO's monthly evening events and Success Circles have built my knowledge and brought new ideas to how I do business and live life. The strong, intelligent women in the group are a bonus."

As WESO members, we can further help Wenda by referring anyone who needs help in residential and commercial real estate.

Wenda's career background includes data center construction business development and experience as a sales and marketing consultant. Outside of work, she loves DOGS! She also enjoys all sorts of outdoor fun, including hiking, biking, and cycling.
