              Gracyn recently relocated from Greenville, SC, and joined the Capitol Group as a Client Service Associate in December. She brings a background in client services and financial planning from an independent RIA and is passionate about building meaningful client relationships while helping individuals and families visualize and achieve their financial goals.
