Galina Malinsky is the Founder/CEO of Skvela Insurances Services. She has worked in financial industry since 2006, spending her first eight years with Wells Fargo. Galina holds both Life and Health licenses, and is currently pursuing her Series 65 so that she can help her clients with their market investments and all aspects of their financial portfolios. Galina graduated from California State University with a degree in Business Management.“I began my independent career as a financial advisor by working with law enforcement and corrections officers,” said Galina. “I helped them create financial plans for their retirement, and oversaw six different correctional facilities. Needless to say, I did a lot of driving.” More recently, Galina has been working with schoolteachers, university employees and people from all walks of life, both in the greater Los Angeles area and across the country, to reach their retirement goals successfully. “I believe in offering everyone a free financial analysis,” she said. “At Skvela Insurance Services, we take an educational approach. Everyone is different, so I always like to listen people’s concerns, issues and needs first. Just like a doctor, I can’t give someone a financial diagnosis without first making a prognosis of their financial goals and challenges. We don’t try to push general recommendations on anyone. I prefer solutions that are based on each individual’s needs.” Galina makes herself available to her clients at all times, even when she’s on vacation. The security of her clients is always her first priority. “I want them to be safe in their retirement,” she said. “Of course, this depends largely on what stage people are at in lives, but for older clients, this definitely holds true.”Family is very important to Galina. She and her husband Miroslav have a 9-year-old daughter and a newborn son. When they are not with family or caring for their children, Galina and Miroslav enjoy traveling, hiking, visiting national and state parks, and enjoying time with friends. They also look forward to their Friday movie night.
