  Assistant Vice President, Team Success

  I strive for the success of our clients, prospects, and business development team. We build relationships, problem-solve, make connections, and, when we are fortunate enough that a new client chooses NFP as their benefits advisor, I work to enable an excellent transition and start to the partnership. Ultimately, my "why" is the end-user - the employees who work for our clients - and helping them get the most out of their benefits, Total Rewards and employment experience. First Person Advisors was acquired by NFP in May 2021, with the integration being finalized in July 2022. We are Stronger Together! Show less
