Michelle has two main focuses at Mosaic; first and foremost is the client. She enjoys serving people and wants to make sure every client is taken care of in a manner that makes them know they are important. She believes it is the little things that really set apart a client’s experience; the check in phone call to see if you need anything, the confirmation we received what you mailed us or following up to make sure requested changes occurred on your accounts.
Michelle’s second focus is operations and efficiently managing the office. If operations and efficiencies are in place, then the client experience is better and the advisors can truly focus on what they do best, advising and financial planning.
So no matter what you need, from scheduling a meeting to account documents, please know Michelle is ready to help you in any way she can.
Michelle resides in Clemmons with her husband Steve and her three daughters Sarah, Zoe-Grace and Pearl. She enjoys spending time with her family, watching her children perform in their various theater productions, photography, crafting and reading.
