    Cynthia has been in the forefront of women providing financial advice!  Fewer than 3% of financial advisors were women when she entered the field.  Her success has been built upon trust, honesty, integrity, and dedication.  Relationships span three generations of making decisions with individuals and families on their long term portfolios.  The best solutions for wealth management are discussed based on the client’s financial goals and life objectives.

    Global travels bring a special perspective on an international scale, while community involvement assures an understanding of the ever-changing local environment.  For the past ten years Cynthia has attended the prestigious invitational Barron’s Top Women Advisors Summit giving additional insight into industry opportunities.
