Welcome! My name is Shannon Himes. I am an Accredited Financial Counselor® (AFC®), a 2021 FINRA Foundation Military Spouse Fellow, and a graduate of The University of Maryland Global Campus (UMUC). I have worked in various roles in industries spanning accounting, personal finance, US government, not-for-profit organizations, customer service, and education. 

While I thoroughly enjoy my professional work, my roles as wife to my high-school sweetheart, mom to 3 spunky and fun-loving kids, and a military-connected woman will always be my main inspiration for who I am and how I present myself in the world. When I'm not thinking about personal finance, I enjoy adventuring with my family, whether it's a hike at the local park or traveling internationally, cheering on my kids in every new sport and activity they attempt, cultivating my personal community that now spans the globe, and volunteering in both the local and military communities to which I belong.
