I like a challenge, and I need to know I'm making a difference.I never expected my first job to become my calling, but then I never thought a financial services company could have the mission and values of TIAA. As Senior Director of Higher Education Sales, I partner with plan sponsors, consultants and internal teams to drive the strategies that deliver financial wellness solutions.I focus on:● Strategy: seeing the client's situation and leveraging TIAA’s extensive resources and my experience to efficiently deliver best-in-class solutions● Business development: understanding the competitive landscape, creating internal and external partnerships, and driving strategy to grow the marketThe next step is to tie these solutions to end-to-end communication strategies that support employees. This is where mission matters: We’re ultimately supporting people’s retirement, and I thrive on knowing this work serves a greater good.Financial independence fueled me even from my first odd jobs as a kid, and it instilled in me a spirit that I hope to model for other women. In my downtime, I focus on women's financial literacy programs. I'm proud to direct my experience to help others.Specialties include: relationship management | business development | business strategy/*********/Content posted here, including third parties’ sites, is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice under ERISA, a securities recommendation or an investment strategy recommendation involving securities under all securities laws, or an insurance product recommendation under state insurance laws or regulations.
