Michelle Begina, CFP®, CIMA®
Michelle Begina, CFP®, CIMA®, is the senior partner and managing director at Snowden Lane Partners. A pair of Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers hang in Michelle’s office as homage to her grandparents, John and Mary. Part of the greatest generation, they never earned more than $10,000 annually and worked for over forty years at a Converse factory – her grandfather making the rubber soles and grandmother stitching the canvas.
While they worked they built and paid for a custom home, took dream vacations once every third year and created a retirement nest egg, supplemented by pensions and Social Security, to live out their retirement dreams. Michelle’s early family lessons together with years of professional experience informs her practice today. She understands the interplay between client values, resources and choice with decision making and behavioral finance; making for a unique, tailored client experience–and better outcomes.
