ABOUT HEATHER C.
I was born in Manhattan, NY, but grew up in Eutawville, SC, where my family has its roots. Growing up, there wasn’t an abundance of information about financial wellness and retirement savings. Because of this, as an HR leader and a previously licensed registered representative, I am deeply committed to empowering employees with the knowledge and tools they need to secure their financial futures. I believe that retirement planning is not just about numbers—it’s about providing peace of mind, fostering financial confidence, and helping individuals achieve their long-term goals. In my role, I am passionate about educating my teams on the full value of our retirement benefits, simplifying complex concepts, and encouraging proactive saving for a secure retirement. By creating engaging educational initiatives and one-on-one support, I strive to make retirement planning accessible and meaningful for everyone. Beyond education, I focus on designing and managing competitive, innovative retirement plans that not only meet the needs of our workforce but also position our organization as an employer of choice. By building attractive benefits packages, I aim to attract and retain top talent while ensuring our employees feel valued and supported throughout their careers. For me, it’s more than just administering plans—it’s about making a lasting impact on the lives of the people I serve.
