Get to know Nancy!

If I could invite anyone, living or dead, for dinner, I would invite:

“My great, great grandmother, who emigrated to the U.S. alone as a teenager and nearly starved to death during that ship voyage. She came to Maryland to work as a nanny for a wealthy family. Generations later, I was the Managing Director of the team who managed the assets for some of the descendants of that family. Only in America!”

Favorite vacation spot:

“Alaska”

A piece of advice from my parents I find myself repeating:

“Integrity is everything. Be a person of your word.”

Three words that describe Nancy:

“Focused, Compassionate, Persistent”
