Sharon graduated from Kennesaw State University with a degree in Finance.

Her hard work paid off and she was thriving financially and decided to employ Goodwin Investment Advisory as her personal financial advisor.

Sharon has been working at GIA since 2014 and her clients could not be happier with her dedication and determination to help see them thrive financially as well.

The best piece of advice she has ever received – “In light of your past experience, your current circumstances, and your future hopes and dreams, what is the wisest thing for you to do?”- Andy Stanley

If Sharon could share one lesson with the world it would be – “Investing small amounts on a consistent basis has a cumulative effect.  Whether the investment is of a physical, relational, financial, spiritual, emotional, or educational nature, there is a cumulative effect – that when combined with time and consistency – exponentially exceeds the original investment. Neglect also has a cumulative effect.”

Why do you like working for GIA? Why do you like working for GIA? With regards to co-workers – “As the oldest employee at GIA, I am surrounded by incredible, authentic, talented and dedicated young men and women that restore my faith in the future, keep me challenged and keep me young.  I look forward to every opportunity to work and share with these amazing people.” With regard to what we do – “We are very mission and vision driven at GIA. Because of this, we have clients that are seeking what we have to offer.  They are each as uniquely fitted to our culture as we are.  This makes my job of partnering with my clients –  to build a bigger better future – as fulfilling as working side by side with the bright people that I work with at GIA.”
