The Leader of Financial Planning

Northwestern Mutual Financial Advisor Brooke McKernan makes it her mission to improve clients’ overall financial pictures, providing safety and security for them and their families for generations to come. She is ranked in the top one percent of all financial planners in her company and in the top five among women. “I have a passion for people and enjoy seeing clients pursue their dreams,” says the Florida State University graduate with a bachelor’s degree in finance. “I strive to be diligent and focused while always advocating for what is right.” By providing an experience that couples a trusted professional with a digital platform, she develops personalized plans backed by strong investment products. “I try to keep what can sometimes be tough conversations simple for my clients, dissecting their planning one layer at a time,” she says. “I stay connected with my clients and continue to review their financial picture long after our relationship begins. A quote by the late Steve Jobs resonates with her: “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” McKernan says, “This career has given me the opportunity to impact so many families and change the community around me for the better,” she says. “It is rewarding.”
