About Our Guest:
Delaney has always had a passion for coaching others. Whether that be in sports or on their financial wellbeing, she loves being someone that people can go to for advice and help through times of adversity or times of joy. Delaney began as a mathematics major at VT and had planned to teach high school calculus and coach volleyball. As a junior, she decided she might want to do something different from teaching. She knew she could always coach as a hobby, but started her search for a career where she could help people with something that always seemed like a struggle for her own family growing up: the concept of money.
Delaney began in the financial services industry in 2015 as an Associate Advisor. Over my career, she has worked on being able to find the intersection of the day-to-day processes of the financial world and the bigger picture, planning to help clients achieve their Private Vista. She also deeply enjoys developing a guide for clients to help them navigate their psychology behind finance and the numbers they see on the page.
