As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, Michelle believes in a holistic

approach to helping clients plan and live their dreams. She believes that the better she can help a client to mesh their life goals with their finances, the more successful, and enjoyable, their overall retirement will be. Critical to a client's success is the integration of planning to address some of retirees' greatest worries: how to plan for health care and its expenses, long term care issues, and the unforeseen events that may occur in retirement.
When not working with clients, Ms. Ash has conducted educational courses on retirement planning through the University of North Florida’s LearnJax program since 2007. She has also served as an Adjunct Professor with Florida State College at Jacksonville, teaching courses on various financial matters, and co-hosted the radio show "Financial Feud".
In addition to her CFP® certification, Michelle holds the CASL™ certification - Chartered Advisor for Senior Living - from The American College. She is a 1995 graduate from the University of Louisville in Kentucky, receiving Magna Cum Laude accolades. She began her career in financial planning in 1998, and is also a member of the Financial Planning Association (FPA).
In her free time, Michelle enjoys time with her husband, their two children, and her cat, nicknamed “Dilly”. She is a fitness fanatic who enjoys many fitness activities, including spinning, yoga, and running, and other hobbies of nutrition, clean-cuisine cooking, and traveling.

*Experience and Employment History information reflects the past 10
years of employment as reported on the SEC ADV filing as of 11/09/2009, and is not a complete representation of the advisor's experience and
employment history. Furthermore, the advisor is required to provide this information only while registered with an investment advisor firm
and the information is not updated through Form U4 after the advisor ceases to be registered. Therefore, an employment date of "Present" may not reflect the advisor's current employment status.
