Zenata is a native of Williston, SC, but she currently resides in Columbia, SC. She attended Lander University and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Healthcare Management. As a business professional with over 15 years of accounting and auditing experience, Zenata realized early in her career that financial literacy was not considered an essential component within our education system. She always dreamed of giving back to her community by educating others and doing what she loves as an entrepreneur.

In an effort to fulfill this aspiration, she later received a Master’s Degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Management Leadership and a Master’s Degree in Accountancy with an emphasis in Taxation.  In addition, she completed the Financial Planning program from the University of South Carolina in conjunction with Midlands Technical College. In addition to pursuing her entrepreneurial endeavors, she is an educator serving the Greater Columbia area as an adjunct Accounting professor at Midlands Technical College. It is rewarding to have the opportunity to give back by teaching and providing my experiences in the field of financial services which is inclusive of accounting, bookkeeping, tax preparation, and business consulting. Therefore, at Donaldson Tax, I strive to make my work ethical, personable, and of quality, so you too can share a memorable experience.
