My other credentials include;  CFP - Certified Financial Panner & EPC - Elder Planning Conselor

I am a holistic advisor, I have been contracted with Sun Life 14 years.

My services include;

Life/Health Insurance, Investing, Financial Planning, Health Benefits, Group Benefits, pensions, Estate planning. 

I have been in the finance industry since the late 90's when I graduated form NIAT's Finance program.

I have worked at a bank, run the finances of a good sized Edmonton business, and have also earned a CPC  payroll designation and did payroll for Alberta, NWT and Nunavut RCPM Guards.

I have also been the executor for both my parents.  My dad was self employed, so a bit more complicated then the average.  These experiences helped me see the need for proper information and also the need for someone with a the skills and experience to help navigate the waters for clients. This experience has helped me assisted my own clients.

I see the value of this designation since I had actually considered doing this as a business on its own.  But I think I can assist more people before the time comes, to make the right choices, to ensure their wishes are met when the time comes as cleanly as possible.

I have been working in the financial services industry for over 30 years.  During that time, I focused primarily on Risk Management and Compliance.  However, my love has always been assisting members with Estate Administration.   I was delighted to have this learning opportunity with the Canadian Institute of Certified Executor Advisors.  I learned a ton about Estates and am looking forward to applying what I have learned in my interactions with members and other employees.  I am also looking forward to networking opportunities with other CEA graduates.
