Cary is passionate about empowering women to discover their unique path to financial freedom. Financial freedom can be achieved by anyone! That is why I'm an advocate for educating women on the importance of making all the right moves with their money and investing in their future.
my story
Hi, I'm Cary
Represented by Washington Speakers Bureau (WSB)
I was introduced to the world of money at a very young age. My father was a Senior Vice President at JP Morgan Chase, and as his oldest daughter, I bonded with him not through sports, but through finance. He brought me to work before “Take Your Daughter to Work Day” existed. We went to foreclosure auctions together. We watched Straight Talk with the Dolans. Money, financial education and the power of smart decision-making were part of my everyday life. At the time, I didn’t realize how rare that was. I didn’t know that many people, especially many women, were never taught how money works, how to budget, how to invest, or how to feel confident making financial decisions. That realization has shaped my entire life’s work. In college, I founded a national sorority to help women feel safe, supported and connected. Even then, I found myself teaching women how to budget, how to understand their finances, and how to feel more in control of their lives. After graduating, I began my career at JP Morgan Chase in the management training program and later the executive management training program after earning my MBA. I went on to hold roles at Citibank and Lord Abbett Mutual Funds before launching my own financial planning firm and earning my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® (CFP®) designation, which is considered the gold standard in the financial planning profession.
It was our great privilege and honor to have Cary speak at our Events 'DIAMOND Nights' to develop strong, female leaders on both the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. Cary's ability to connect with and inspire the women, while giving them practical empowering tips on managing their finances was amazing, with ladies from both events giving her rave reviews.
It is my great pleasure to recommend Cary (the Money Queen) to any organization looking for an engaging, inspiring and empowering speaker.
