Catherine Crunden

I feel privileged to have a career in finance where I continue to learn about not only investing, but also how to save for each life event. As a single parent to my daughter, it was even more important to manage our expenses. Today as I work with our clients, I truly enjoy teaching them how to keep their financial house in order and helping them prepare for the important events in their own lives.
