Partnering with Janney became both a unique and exciting opportunity for me. I had the opportunity to return to the area where I grew up and embark on a new career path following in the footsteps of my father, Ed. While receiving a Master's degree and relevant experience in Architectural Engineering from The Pennsylvania State University, I worked with architects, engineers, and contractors which helped me to appreciate the competence and ability a team environment harvests. Having the ability to address estate plans, insurance needs, and financial planning for the lifelong goals of each individual and the family, it allows me to properly maintain and managed the risks for each client. Developing and nurturing the partnership with each client is an extended commitment that I will continue in perpetuity.
I hold and maintain my Series 7 and Series 66 securities licenses as well as PA Accident, Health, Life, Fixed and Variable Annuity Licenses. In addition, I'm a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), Accredited Wealth Management Advisory (AWMA®) and hold a Certification for Long Term Care (CLTC®.)
Additionally, I am an active member in my church, Treasurer for local Foundation 58 charity, and an avid golfer.
I began seeing financial markets and understanding stock symbols from a young age. I am a graduate of Susquehanna University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration - Finance and a minor in Information Systems. You can say that “the apple didn’t fall far” because upon graduation, I started my career with Janney and Mr. Lagana. For over 18 years as a father/daughter unit and also as part of the larger team, we expanded our capabilities for the clients we serve and consider family. I help to answer client questions, review investment portfolios, process client transactions, provide operational assistance, and ensure branch adherence to internal and external regulatory compliance. I hold and maintain Series 7 and 66 securities licenses. I live in the Hazleton area with my husband and daughters.
We collaborate with other Janney specialists, as needed, who have in-depth experience in specific disciplines. Together, we can assess your unique situation, analyze difference strategies, and develop a plan fit for your unique needs and goals.
