Christine Costello joined the financial services profession in 1997, after wrapping up an international consulting career in population and public health. Her analytic research background provided a natural segue way to financial services. The goal in both careers is the same; the objective is to help people do the best they can for themselves and their families. From her academic background, as well as personal experience confronting love and loss, Christine knows life is lived in the moment and believes in purposefully creating a life well lived for her clients. Today we face the novelty of a life that can stretch to ninety or even longer; longevity that was not possible just 30 years ago. Christine enables her clients to prepare for and make the best of that time. She uses a structured approach with her clients to identify their values, goals, and priorities; works with them to envision their desired second half of life and then builds and implements the financial strategy to help support that life.When not living or traveling internationally, Chris has made the DC area her home. She and her husband currently live in Cabin John Maryland. She has a daughter who is an Ob/Gyn doctor in the Boston area and a son who will soon be a practicing NYC corporate attorney. Christine has completed Finra Series 7, 63 and 65 registrations. She holds a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and achieved both her Bachelor and Master degrees from Georgetown University. She is proficient in both Spanish and Indonesian and enjoys meeting people from all walks of life.
