Managing Wealth Advisor | Women and Wealth Ambassador
Empowering women, their families, and the causes they champion
Cary is passionate about empowering women to discover their unique path to financial freedom and has been a vocal advocate for educating women on the importance of taking charge of their own financial future for decades.
A traveled speaker, author, and CFP Board Ambassador, her life’s work is making finances female friendly and accessible.
Women and Wealth Ambassador
From her earliest days as the daughter of a banking executive, money and financial literacy have been integral parts of Cary’s life. In college, she founded a sorority focused on women’s safety and taught budgeting to her female peers, showcasing her lifelong dedication to empowering women.
With an extensive career in financial services, Cary gained the knowledge and experience needed to channel her passion for elevating women into her current role as the Woman and Wealth Ambassador. “My life’s work is striving to make the financial advice industry and wealth management, in general, female-friendly,” states Cary. “When it comes to money, women should feel safe and secure. They should be heard and empowered.”
In this role, Cary continues to uplift women through speaking engagements, media appearances, and authorship. Her book, “The Money Queen’s Guide: For Women Who Want to Build Wealth and Banish Fear,” is available at several major book retailers, further spreading her message of financial empowerment and security for women.
