I joined Gardner Financial Planning in 2015 after having spent 17 years working in a public library. I have always loved working with and helping children and families and looks forward to expanding that service opportunity in the financial planning field. I hold a series 7 security license and a series 66 advisory license. I am also a NJ licensed insurance agent focusing on life, health, disability and long term care plans. Prior to joining Gardner Financial Planning, I worked in a public library and completed my Masters in Library and Information Science at Rutgers University in 2009 to become a librarian. I loved my job working with children, teens and their parents but felt like I was ready for a career change. When I was approached by my father in-law about joining his firm, I jumped at the opportunity to serve families in a different way. The firm's financial planning focus is a great fit with my service oriented philosophy and my background in research support is a strong foundation for serving client needs.
