Women:
We are unique! We will on average live to age 811 . The average age of widowhood is age 55.2 Nearly two-thirds of women, ages 40 to 79, have dealt with a major financial life crisis such as job loss, death of a spouse, divorce or serious illness.3 Fewer than 2 in 10 women feel very prepared to make financial decisions. Half say they need some help and 1/3 feel they need a lot of help4
If this describes you or a woman you know, it’s never too late to take the first step towards financial literacy and creating a life you love, AND you don’t have to take the journey alone. Let me walk with you and help. My distinctive qualifications can become a resource for you.
Federal Employees:
Have two separate retirement plans. Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS).

We are versed in your system and here to help.
State of Alaska Employees & Municipality of Anchorage:
