Partner & Advisor | Marie@fdgteam.com

I am a Certified Financial Planner with over 30 years’ experience in the financial services industry. I work closely with clients who care about their financial future, and assist them in developing and implementing their own unique financial plans.  

My focus is to provide financial planning services, strategies and products for my clients so they can achieve their goals. I view every client as unique and I approach the financial planning process according to my clients own needs and comfort level.

I have a strong commitment to continuing my education which I believe adds value to my clients. I share this knowledge with my clients so they can make informed decisions, specifically tailored to their situation.

Any activity in relation to my title as Partner of Financial Destinations Group is related to my insurance business only and is not the business of/or under the supervision of Quadrus Investment Services Ltd.

I joined the FDG team in 2012 and advise businesses, individuals and families on how to provide protection from “life’s many risks”.

From personal experience, I know that life has a way of taking some unexpected turns. Unfortunate events can happen to anyone and, when they do, a sound financial plan is one thing that can help. Life, disability and critical illness insurance are important options to consider to help protect one’s health and financial security. My goal is for each client to have confidence in answering these questions “If something should happen to me, will my family be OK?” and “Will I ever have enough to retire and how much money do I really need?”

Having built strong relationships with business owners, I love helping companies develop tailored group benefit plans that will help attract and retain quality employees.

Born and raised in Edmonton, I have worked in the media, the mortgage industry and also manage a real estate portfolio.

I am also a connoisseur of fine wine!

I joined the FDG team in January 2020 as a licensed professional with over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry.  I have worked in administrative roles at a few small independent brokerages and worked as a Financial Advisor at Edward Jones prior to joining FDG.  I get a lot of satisfaction from helping others, I’m happy to share what I’ve learned, and I believe there is something to learn from everyone.  I’m excited to be a part of this amazing organization and look forward to getting to know our clients. 
 
I love live music and theatre and enjoy camping, biking, and karaoke.
