November / December 2025

Recently, Reliance Matrix team members volunteered their time and expertise at the Franklin Institute STEM Scholars Career Night. The event connected professionals and students for meaningful conversations about diverse career paths, education, and the future of work in STEM and beyond.

Jennifer K. Smith, Communications Specialist; Jody Fast, AVP Actuarial R&D; Vince Alesi, Medical Underwriter; and Tammy Salvadore, Executive Director, Reliance Matrix Foundation all generously shared career insights and experiences with students. Events like these show students how their interests can evolve into exciting opportunities.
