Prior to NFF, LeNola worked for large asset managers, including Fidelity Investments, MFS, and State Street Bank, for over two decades. She was a research analyst covering bonds backed by commercial real estate mortgages, other loans, and assets.

She graduated from Bryant University with a double concentration in applied actuarial mathematics and computer information systems and a minor in sociology. At the time LeNola joined NFF, she was a CFA®️ charterholder.
