Andrea's goal is very clear; "I want to listen to what you have to say and will ask 'why' as many times as necessary to truly understand your priorities." She wants to hear your unique story because financials are about math but true planning combines that and the emotional impacts many don't often discuss.
After a serious accident in 1999, Andrea changed careers so she could help people. Now with 20+ years' experience in financial services she has obtained multiple industry accreditations providing her with the foundation to support clients in planning for the creation, protection, preservation and transfer of their wealth. Ensuring she listens, Andrea simplifies potentially intricate issues such as funding future tax liabilities, transferring wealth to heirs and protecting those you love most through the power of customized insurance solutions.
When not hard at work, Andrea spends her time going on adventures with her children and enjoys an active life as an avid yogi, tap-dancer and drummer.
