Planning Specialties
As a second-generation financial planner, I started setting goals for myself personally and financially at a young age. The only daughter of a financial planner (father) and an accountant (mother), my childhood lessons included saving, budgeting, and planning for the future.
After studying Economics at Mount Holyoke College in southwestern Massachusetts, I relocated to southeastern Pennsylvania to be a part of the thriving equestrian community and pursue my aspirations to help people with their own financial dreams. In my professional career, I have worked with high net worth clients, developed projects to benefit clients at Vanguard and consulted with independent financial advisors at SEI Investments.
While at Vanguard two monumental events occurred, most importantly I met my husband Dan McCarthy. Secondly, I was accepted into an accelerated program, completed the rigorous education requirements and passed the Certified Financial Planner™ exam. In working with both advisors and clients directly, I have learned about the inner workings of the financial services industry and the competitive landscape to the benefit of my clients today through customized, holistic advice.
Additional Information
Throughout my professional career, the lessons my parents taught me at a young age have driven my curiosity, my desire to help others, and to share my love of personal finance. Today, my husband Dan McCarthy and I spend our time on any number of projects on our small farm in Royersford and in the summer, we are particularly lucky to be surrounded by family in the Royersford area willing to help with hay baling production. We plan to continue our roots and traditions here for years to come.
