In 2013, Donna’s husband passed away unexpectedly, and she found herself suddenly navigating widowhood.
After an initial period of getting things settled with her kids and their new life, she made the decision to relaunch her career and get into the role that she had found so impactful during that time of transition for her family, financial planning. She went back to school to take the coursework to become a CFP® practitioner and then entered the field so she could provide the advice and support to families in transition.
Donna is now an author of the #1 Amazon Best Seller "A Guide to Widowhood Navigating the First Three Years", a speaker, and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner and focuses her practice on financial planning for families in transition, the unique planning needs of those whose tomorrow is much different than their today. Donna follows her passion for helping people prepare their futures and helps them navigate the sudden changes life puts forward.
