Traci wants to help clients make the most of their money, and ultimately, the most of their lives.

With extensive, ongoing training provided by the Sudden Money® Institute, Traci earned the title of Certified Financial Transitionist®, which complements her CSSC designation and helps her best serve clients on both a technical and a personal level. Traci approaches each case with the goal of guiding clients through financial transition by offering thoughtful, customized solutions to best suit their financial and personal goals.
