She has an Associate’s Degree from Metro Business College and holds the Accredited Asset Management Specialist Designation from the College for Financial Planning. Samantha also holds the Certification for Long-Term Care.

This gives the CLTC® professionals the proper skill set to discuss those consequences, offer a plan to mitigate them, and when appropriate, recommend long-term care insurance as a funding source for that plan.

A Chartered Life Underwriter® (CLU®) is a financial professional with extensive knowledge of the life insurance industry and the underwriting process. This means a CLU® has obtained a level of life insurance expertise that exceeds general insurance and basic life insurance underwriting requirements.
