Copa: Where are you from?
Brandi: Washington, DC by way of Prince George's County, Maryland. Copa: What schools have you attended?
Brandi: Bishop McNamara High School, University of Maryland - College Park, University of Maryland Global Campus Copa: At what time did you develop an interest in finance?
Brandi: I launched The Agency at National Harbor in 2017, her goal was to help the community understand modern financial challenges — including family finance, business finance, retirement planning, and legacy building — because she recognized a gap in financial education for individuals, entrepreneurs, and families. That need became a driving motivation behind her work in finance. While The Agency website focuses on my mission for community financial empowerment and education, external profiles and interviews reveal that Brandi’s interest in finance was also influenced by a personal transformation: After experiencing the sudden loss of my spouse and facing financial uncertainty as a young widow with children, I felt a strong calling to learn and teach finance. Later, I connected with a mentor who was already successful in the financial services industry, which helped me transition into the field and eventually start my own financial services firm. |
