Marie Curie was one of the most intelligent and hardworking people to have ever lived. Her entire life was spent learning about a field she was passionate about. Even when Marie was working a mundane job to save up money to continue her education, she spent her spare time reading, studying, and absorbing all the scientific information that she could. Among her many admirable qualities, her constant pursuit of knowledge and understanding is most inspirational to me.
The qualities displayed by Marie help to guide me in the financial planning work I do. I’m constantly learning, asking questions, and seeking out answers. Not only do I ask questions so that I can be fully informed regarding my clients’ goals, but I encourage the same of my clients. I enjoy answering questions to help clients understand the financial plan that we come up with together. I know that navigating finances can be a daunting task, but when topics are clearly explained and it’s demonstrated what it will take to reach specific goals, it no longer seems so hard to obtain.
As an owner of Cornerstone, it’s my responsibility to ensure that all our clients receive a high level of detail, support, and expertise so that they can reach their financial objectives. I take pride in mentoring others, including employees of the firm. I work on continuing to expand my own knowledge through active participation in organizations such as the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA), Seacoast Women’s Giving Circle (board member since 2023), and Leadership Seacoast (class of 2020), as well as various local networking groups and several volunteer activities.
In my personal life, I enjoy visiting my friends and family in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio. I also take pleasure in traveling to different countries and immersing myself in their cultures. When at home, I like to explore everything the Seacoast area of New Hampshire has to offer.
