Kelsey Segawa joined First Command Financial Services as a Financial Advisor in April 2022, following a 5-year career in the United States Air Force, where she attained the rank of Captain. Kelsey understands the challenges and opportunities associated with life in the military and is committed to helping service members and their families get their financial lives squared away. Kelsey has a Bachelor’s degree in Islamic and Near Eastern Studies from Washington University in St. Louis and a Master’s degree in Terrorism, Security & Society from King's College London. She holds Series 7 and 66 securities licenses plus life and health insurance licenses in Virginia. Understanding that the biggest obstacle to financial security for most people is their own behavior, Kelsey serves as a personal financial coach to clients, continually reinforcing positive financial behaviors. Her thorough knowledge of military pay and benefits enables her to advise clients on how to navigate the Blended Retirement System, properly allocate their contributions to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) and take full advantage of other benefits. Kelsey will work with you to establish specific, meaningful goals that are consistent with your values and then develop a personalized financial plan to guide your pursuit of those goals. In her free time, Kelsey enjoys baseball, reading, and watching movies. First Command Financial Services was founded in 1958 by a retired Air Force officer for the specific purpose of improving the financial well-being of military professionals and their families. Today, more than 500 First Command Financial Advisors across the country and abroad, many of whom also served, are committed to the company’s Mission of “Coaching those who serve in their pursuit of financial security.”
