Dominique? Reese is the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of CommuniTree LLC.

Born and raised in South Central Los Angeles, she attended Crenshaw High School, graduated Salutatorian and was the first student to attend Princeton University.

Upon graduating, she worked as an Analyst and Account Executive, managing marketing projects in Merrill Lynch?s Global Private Client Marketing Group. In fall 2007, she joined the well-established W.A.S. Financial Advisory team, as Junior Partner, managing $4 million in assets and liabilities. During her tenure as an advisor Dominique? assisted clients with personal financial management, ranging from planning and budgeting to investments and insurance. However, her talent and skill for financial literacy and strategic planning added value for her client?s experience and her team?s success.

In her effort to spread financial knowledge to youth and adults, Dominique? has volunteer taught and mentored youth in Trenton, New Jersey, Bedstuy, Brooklyn and Harlem, New York about financial and investing basics. It is her belief that the youth are missing a critical life lesson, just as important as Science, English, or Social Studies, that they can?t afford to be without. She was honored by the Minisink House Phoenix Sorority, as a recipient of the Beacon of Light Award, for serving the local Harlem community youth and adults. In Spring 2009, Dominique? created CommuniTree LLC, aimed at annually improving the financial literacy and education of 12,000 American youth and adults.

Dominique? is the eldest sibling of three girls. She graduated from Princeton in 2006, with a degree in Economics and a Certificate in African-American Studies. She serves as a Big Sister in the Big Brother Big Sister of America national mentoring program and is the Executive Business Advisor for Hasani Management, a non-profit in Cleveland, OH.
