Jessica Zifer joins North Star Resource Group as a financial advisor in California
SAN DIEGO—July 7, 2025—Jessica Zifer today joined North Star Resource Group in California as an experienced financial advisor. Zifer was previously affiliated with The Salvetti Group before joining North Star.
At North Star, Zifer joins a dynamic and innovative team of financial services professionals in California, led by Regional Director Grace Torres Kilpatrick. Zifer will work closely with the San Diego branch, which is dedicated to clients’ complete financial wellness and helping them achieve their goals.
Zifer began her career in the financial services industry with Wells Fargo Advisors in 2009.

After joining The Salvetti Group in 2024 as a financial advisor and building a client base of high achievers, Zifer joined North Star to continue her path of providing tailored, unique financial guidance to high-net-worth individuals and business owners.
Zifer joined North Star thanks to its focus on supporting experienced financial advisors and helping them grow their businesses. This includes the firm’s specialist team, which supports both advisors and their clients with advanced research and consulting capabilities in financial planning, investments, life and disability insurance, employee benefits and more.
