Petersen Hastings Wealth Advisors Welcomes Athena Bunata as Client Service Specialist

Petersen Hastings Wealth Advisors is proud to welcome Athena Bunata to the firm as a Client Service Specialist. Athena brings a strong foundation in customer service and a genuine passion for helping others – qualities that align closely with the firm’s mission to serve clients with care, integrity, and excellence. Her eagerness to grow in her role and contribute to the overall success of Petersen Hastings makes her a valuable addition to the team.

“Athena’s positive energy, strong work ethic, and commitment to client service make her a great fit for our firm,” said Diane Gaines, Director of Client Operations. “We’re excited to see her thrive in this role and support both our clients and advisors as our firm continues to grow.”

Athena was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada and moved to Cheney, WA in 2020 to attend Eastern Washington University. She recently earned her Bachelor’s of Science in Business Systems and Analytics in June of 2024. With a solid background in customer service – having held her first job at just 14 – Athena has developed strong interpersonal skills and a client-first mindset that will serve her well in her new role.

Now living in the Tri-Cities, Athena enjoys spending time with her friends, family, and her golden retriever, Dug. She has recently taken up pickleball, loves paddleboarding in the summer, and spends her downtime hiking, reading, traveling, and exploring new restaurants and local activities.
