About me
Gillian grew up in Lyndhurst NJ with her parents and 3 sisters. She grew up playing soccer, was involved in the Girl Scouts and participated in her church's youth group. Since both of her parents were both in the medical field, she grew up knowing that she wanted to help people in some way but wasn’t 100% how. After taking various business classes in high school, Gillian furthered her education at the University of Nebraska where she double majored in Finance with a concentration in Risk Management and Banking and Marketing.
Gillian got introduced to Northwestern Mutual through a career fair. That is where she got to meet one of the local teams and learn a little more about the internship. Gillian ended up interning in her local office in New Jersey for 2 years before going full time. During the last year of her internship, Gillian ranked in the top 100 nationally among all interns in the company before going full time. She loved the continuous support from her office and learning opportunities that were available to her.
In college, Gillian was the Vice President of Finance in her schools chapter of Delta Sigma Pi. She enjoyed the leadership experience where she was able to meet and connect with various business professionals around the country. She also was an associate of the Husker Venture Fund where she got to hear pitches from various startups and helped to do due diligence, and later lead to an investment.
Gillian currently resides in Bergen County and loves coming to work everyday where she is meeting new people and guiding them to financial security, but also enjoys her time outside of it! She enjoys spending time with her family and friends and will not miss the opportunity to cheer on the Huskers! Gillian also loves traveling with her father and seeing different national parks across the US.
Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Sunrise Day Camp
Sunrise Day Camps are the world’s only dedicated day camps for children with cancer and their siblings and proud members of the Sunrise Association, whose mission is to bring back the joys of childhood to children with cancer and their siblings worldwide. Sunrise accomplishes this through the creation and oversight of welcoming, inclusive summer day camps, year-round programs and in-hospital recreational activities, all offered free of charge
How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
