My job responsibilities include preparing comprehensive personalized financial plans for high and ultra high net worth clients of Sun Life Advisors. Specifically, I work with farmers/ranchers, business owners, US connected persons, parents of disabled children, and the list goes on. What I love is that everyone is an individual with individual goals, desires and life challenges. In my role, I attend joint meetings with advisors and their clients communicating with their lawyers and accountants to bring them into the conversations. Conversations may revolve around succession planning, estate preservation, charitable giving etc. As a director at Sun Life, it is also my responsibility to provide training to our career sales force on estate planning strategies, as well as, consult one on one with advisors. My primary focus is to provide training in more complex tax strategies for the advisor's high net worth clientele.
