My Mission Statement
Welcome
Stephanie believes in working closely with clients to structure a personal, tailored strategy to manage not only their assets but also their liabilities. She continually monitors and adjusts the plan as the relationship and client goals evolve over time. This is a dynamic process that is structured to help maximize return and minimize risk.
Priding herself on explaining the advantages and disadvantages of investments Stephanie recommends, she is equally as candid in regard to the risks associated and any fees involved. She views clients as family and is rewarded by the friendships that develop.
Stephanie is deeply passionate about helping others in both her personal and professional life. She volunteers for causes close to her heart, such as Youth Haven, the Alzheimer’s Association, and Veterans through America’s Corporate Partners, where she is a mentor. Stephanie also enjoys keeping fit, playing the piano, mentoring others, playing pickleball and caring for her home in Naples.

13The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
