Do you have a secret hidden talent?
I was a competitive figure skater who traveled nationally hoping to qualify for the Olympics one day. I can say that my spins and jumps are now only done for comedic effect.
What is your favorite vacation spot?
The Amalfi Coast – unbelievable natural beauty, fantastic food, and wonderful people.
What part of Barrett Financial makes you most excited?
I am most excited about our continued growth and expertise in socially responsible investing. I firmly believe that climate change is not an environmental issue, but an economic one, and that we need to adjust to this new reality. I would like investors to know that you do not have to give up returns in order to access some degree of sustainability.
