Nicole Meade Jensen, Licensed Fiduciary
Nicole Meade Jensen is a nearly-native Tucsonan who graduated from Tucson High Magnet School and the University of Arizona. Nicole holds a degree in French and English from the U of A, and a post-degree certification of paralegal studies.
Nicole worked as a trust and estates paralegal and Certified Paralegal at Gadarian & Cacy, PLLC for seventeen years, and observed both the challenges Trustees face as well as the demand for compassionate, knowledgable third-party Trustee services. Working closely with families, Trustees, and beneficiaries, she saw an unmet need for high-touch, light-footprint, personalized professional Trustee services, separate from both a client’s financial institutions and their estate planning attorneys.
This need galvanized Nicole to become a licensed fiduciary. A natural problem-solver and connector, Nicole transitioned to fiduciary work at Gadarian & Cacy in 2022 before leaving the firm in early 2024 to start Providia Partners with Sarah Singer. Nicole thoroughly enjoys the challenges and rewards of serving as fiduciary, and brings patience, knowledge, curiosity, and insight to the often-challenging work of serving as fiduciary.
Nicole is committed to the Tucson community, and focuses her charitable and volunteer work in the areas of hunger, child poverty and literacy, and restorative justice. She and her husband Blaine enjoy practicing yoga, hiking, skiing, and traveling. Nicole is the proud mother of three adult sons, Ethan, Owen, and Arlo, and enjoys agonizing over U of A basketball with them. Nicole grew up in a blended family and is a proud stepmother to Elizabeth and Beckett; as such, she understands the joys and complexities of blended family dynamics. Nicole considers herself a lifetime learner: accordingly, she is an avid reader.
