In planning for her own daughter with cerebral palsy and medical complexities, Debbie realized how complicated, disjointed, and overwhelming the process was, especially on top of the normal, daily demands of care. She quickly became a special needs planning specialist at Northwestern Mutual, where she helped countless families across the country through this process. She has spoken on the topic at state, regional, and national conferences and joined Hope Trust to share her expertise and help financial advisors support their clients in creating peace of mind. She is passionate about making sure families and their advisors have the information and solutions to ensure a lifetime of care for their loved one with disabilities.
