Kelsey Evancho Barbero

My name is Kelsey Evancho Barbero. I am originally from New Jersey, where I attended high school and competed in both soccer and track. When I graduated high school, I attended University of Delaware for my undergraduate degree and competed in D1 track and field all 4 years. 

After graduating from University of Delaware, I followed the love of my life to Texas while he got his PhD at Texas A and M. I worked as a LCDC counselor for 5 years while also getting my Master's degree from Universita degli Studi di Torino in Italy. 

Eventually, I left the counseling and decided to join Northwestern Mutual as a recruiter in the College Station office and shortly after moved into developing talent in our new hires. I wanted a way to have a bigger impact and decided to take the leap into becoming a financial representative. 

When I started working at 15, my parents told me that I needed to start thinking about my future and develop good monetary habits. I started putting money into a ROTH but I had no idea why I was doing it. I started investing shortly after college because I was told it was important to do.

Now that I am in my 30's and I work in financial planning, I see the massive impact that small planning early on did for me. It gave me the opportunity to have three wedding celebrations (all to the love of my life that I met in college but in two different states and one foreign country so we could celebrate with all of our family and friends), it allowed my husband and I to purchase a home before we turned 30, and to start our family (currently we have one beautiful daughter). These accomplishments were not due to us earning crazy amounts (honestly prior to 30 we were earning about the national average income.) It was because we had a good plan in place to achieve what we wanted to accomplish. 

It is now my passion to educate others and help them build a financial plan that helps them accomplish their goals. 

Each of us are committed to providing exceptional service. If you need to schedule an appointment, request service, or have a question about a policy or account, please don't hesitate to contact us.

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.
