Debra was born in Georgia, grew up on a family farm with her three brothers and two sisters.  She graduated from Emanuel County Institute, then University of Georgia, and moved to Atlanta.

Debra worked as a paralegal for 16 years and during that time met her husband Neal, an attorney with whom she once worked.  They currently live in Buckhead with their dog.  She is a member of Peachtree Christian Church in Atlanta, plays ALTA and USTA tennis, is a fan of the Atlanta Braves and Falcons and especially the Georgia “Bulldawgs.”  She is active in a book club and UGA Women Alumni, volunteers for Habitat for Humanity, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Atlanta Humane Society and Cobb Family Services.

Debra left the legal field and obtained her licenses as an insurance agent and securities representative twelve years ago.  She worked in banking as an Officer/Financial Specialist with Wachovia for several years prior to her current position as a financial services professional with a focus on comprehensive planning.  Debra has completed the challenging educational requirement for the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) Designation through UGA and is working on obtaining the Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) Designation.  She is a member of National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA), National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), Atlanta Chapter, Georgia Executive Women’s Network (GEWN) and Sandy Springs Chamber of Commerce.

Debra enjoys sharing her knowledge and translating “legalese and financial jargon” into understandable concepts for her clients, who range from professionals such as attorneys, physicians, veterinarians, teachers , CEOs of manufacturing operations to newlyweds, bachelors, single mothers and families.  Her goal is to serve her clients well by identifying strategies suitable for them to eventually reach financial stability, prosperity and independence.
