However, she concentrates her focus on the Midwest region, mainly her hometown of Kalamazoo as well as Grand Rapids, Michigan. Also spending time in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs in Illinois where she grew up. With a combined focus of understanding both clients’ long and short-term goals she can create and execute a plan that includes proper financial planning, tax planning and estate planning.

One of Sarah’s many passions in the financial industry is advocating for and making sure women have a voice and understand their financial situation and goals. This way no matter what life throws at them they are prepared and have a trusted advisor to lean on for assistance. Too many times she has seen women lose a partner and not know how to proceed in regard to their financial wellness. This sometimes leads to women being misled or taken advantage of. When we educate ahead of time, then there are less questions and concerns at the time of need.
