What does retirement look like? For Peter and Beth, it looks like peace of mind. After decades as educators, they were not sure what life without a steady paycheck would mean. When Beth learned that TIAA monthly retirement checks would provide income every single month, she was amazed that something like that even existed. For Peter, who admits he never really planned for retirement, the steady income gave him confidence and for the first time money is no longer a worry. Today they are free to focus on what matters most: pottery, writing, music, and family, supported by the assurance of retirement security.

As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re proud to recognize associates like Gabriela Mendieta. With family ties to Nicaragua, Gaby carries a strong sense of family and connection into everything she does. When she thinks about our participants, she thinks about her own mom—and how important it is to be prepared for retirement. That perspective keeps her work grounded in purpose and reminds her that behind every decision is someone’s future. In her role on the AI team, Gaby keeps innovation grounded in what matters most: people. From arriving in the U.S. without speaking English to now leading teams and driving critical technology strategies, she continues to build opportunities not just for herself, but for others. Her story reflects the resilience, care and impact our associates bring to TIAA every day. #HispanicHeritageMonth #TIAAProud
