Meet Marianna: Connector-in-Chief and Believer in Fresh Starts
If you’re going through a big life transition, chances are Marianna has helped someone through something similar. She’s not just here to manage your finances—she’s here to help you figure out what comes next, and how to get there with confidence.
She came to the U.S. at 18, with her family and fifty dollars. Starting over from scratch is something she understands deeply. She went on to study math and finance at the University of Pennsylvania, started her career on Wall Street, and found her way into this work after sitting in on a financial planning meeting with her dad. One conversation, and she knew—this is what she was meant to do.
If you’re working with Marianna, you’ll feel it right away. She listens closely, asks smart questions, and genuinely cares about what matters to you. Whether you’re navigating a divorce, thinking about retirement, planning a new future, or just trying to make smart decisions for your family, she’s here to walk through it with you.
