Meet Claudia
Executive Assistant | Single Women in Retirement Contributor
Living in Northeast Oregon, Claudia is approaching retirement herself and is actively preparing for the transition many of our clients are navigating today.
Before joining the team, Claudia spent five years caring for her mother. That experience gave her a firsthand understanding of the emotional, practical, and financial realities families face when long-term care, caregiving responsibilities, and retirement planning intersect.
Today, Claudia brings that perspective to every conversation she has. She is a contributor to the Single Women in Retirement podcast, helping guide discussions around retirement confidence, caregiving, financial preparedness, and the questions many women face as they enter a new stage of life. Her passion is helping people feel informed, prepared, and supported as they think through their own next chapter.
