We’re proud to share that Jacinta Gauvin, one of Wealth Avenue’s own, is being recognized for her excellence in the financial industry. This year, Jacinta received the Best of Business Silver Award from Coastal Virginia Magazine in the Wealth Manager category* and was just named a Top 40 Under 40** honoree for 2025 by Inside Business, The Hampton Roads Business Journal. She’ll be celebrated at an awards ceremony in late October, with her profile featured in the October 27th issue.

Jacinta’s journey to becoming a Wealth Advisor is one of grit, reinvention, and determination. After 15 years as a small business owner in the beauty and wedding industries, she made a career change into financial services, starting as an operations assistant. Through persistence and hard work, she earned her Series 7, 63, and 65 licenses, her life and annuities license, and the Accredited Asset Management Specialist (AAMS®) designation, ultimately advancing into her dream role as a Wealth Advisor.

Today, she is most proud of the trust she has built with her clients, particularly women entrepreneurs, small business owners, healthcare professionals, and defense industry leaders. Her approachable, educational style makes financial planning clear and empowering, turning complex ideas into actionable strategies.

Beyond the office, Jacinta is a proud mom to her daughter, Scarlet. She volunteers with Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) to support children in foster care, advocates for mental health through NAMI, mentors small business owners through The Hive, and is an active community volunteer across Hampton Roads, from supporting Samaritan House fundraisers to fostering animals through the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter.

Please join us in congratulating Jacinta on these well-deserved honors. Her professional achievements and commitment to service reflect the very best of Wealth Avenue and the values we strive to uphold every day.
