Some of the past workshops Chenise has conducted are: “Women & Investing”; “Medical Insurance required for students going to study overseas”; “Seminar for the 30s”; “Retirement Planning”; “Smart Women” and “Financial Planning for school teachers/staff”.

Chenise was also one of the formally selected consultants to work with DBM – an outplacement specialist who helps their clients (mainly MNCs) go through financial needs matters during their transition.

She appears on Vodcast on “Women & Finance” occasionally and is actively servicing in her cell group.
