For other Penn State alumni: As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ I have knowledge and experience in numerous financial areas. I am more than happy to meet with anyone interested in financial planning or those with financial questions or concerns. I don’t charge a fee for meetings or qualified financial planning.
