Susan has worked in the investment field for more than 30 years. Her interest in financial services and working directly with clients started as a summer internship and steadily grew to a decades-long career. Susan’s financial savvy and concern for her clients helped her move from intern to assistant to partner to her current role as managing director. In her exemplary career, Susan has remained with the same firm (Ferris, Baker Watts merged with RBC in 2009) and credits her late mentor, Gail Winslow, with teaching her how to build relationships with her clients. Susan and her team at The Winslow Group tailor their work to each client’s needs and goals. From investments to retirement planning to insurance to banking needs, The Winslow Group creates investment plans that reflect their clients’ short-term needs and long-term goals. A Certified Financial Planner ® and an Accredited Estate Planner, Susan has passed the Series 7, 31, 63 and 65 exams and holds her licenses for life and health insurance. She and her team work directly with their clients’ attorneys and CPAs.

Giving back to communities remains a critical part of Susan’s personal and professional life.
