She now helps individuals explore retirement alternatives beyond traditional employer-sponsored plans, guiding clients through strategies that provide growth, security, and protection from market volatility. Wendy combines technical expertise, client-focused guidance, and a deep understanding of retirement planning to empower individuals to make informed financial decisions that align with their personal goals.

Wendy’s success in the insurance and financial education field is rooted in strong upline support, personal initiative, and building credibility with clients. She manages a wide range of responsibilities, including client meetings, marketing, training new agents, daily business management, and retirement planning. As a retirement planner and financial educator, Wendy emphasizes the differences between financial educators, retirement planners, and fiduciaries while highlighting safe investment options such as fixed indexed annuities with guarantees that protect against market loss.

A dedicated lifelong learner and Army veteran, Wendy earned a technical degree, completed her bachelor’s degree in just one year at age 48, and pursued partial master’s coursework. Beyond her professional work, she enjoys cake decorating, creating themed cakes for family events, and actively engages with her family, which includes three grown sons, one stationed in Poland. She values shared meals as a tool for communication, teaches her sons independence and cooking skills, and draws on these life experiences to guide clients with empathy, clarity, and practical advice in both financial and personal growth.
