A native of Medina, with a degree in behavioral neuroscience, after several years in post-doctoral research, she decided to make a change and become a financial planner. She has a vast knowlede of different planning groups and works with a diverse array of groups such as physicians, research scientists, families with special needs, businesses in transition, and with families and businesses in the LGBTQ community.

She has been a recipient of Skylight’s Rising Leader award. She has or is currently serving on the boards of Medina Creative Housing, the Renee Jones Empowerment Center, and A Place for Us. In addition, she is currently on the Executive Board for the Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging and Connecting for Kids. Most recently she was recognized by Crain’s Cleveland Business as a 2016 “Forty Under 40” Honoree.

Why is this topic imporant?  Baby Boomers and Millennials make up the majority of the workforce today. Baby boomers may increase by 11.9 million; millenials are the largest generation in America with 75.4 million, spend $200 billion annually,.and stay an average of just 2 years at one position.

Businesses across the nation are struggling with finding out how to retain good young professinals as well as how to facilitate conversations between the 3-4 generations now working under one roof.  Understanding the history of generations as wel as the millenial generation and the Z generation coming up behind them is part of the key to business development and optimization.

We look forward to seeing you at this month's luncheon as we discuss ways to understand and bridge this gap.
