Background of Team
Ms. Carmouché is the founder of Clarifying Solutions LLC. She is a CFP candidate and passed the Certified Financial PlannerTM exam. She is also a National Social Security Advisor (NSSA) and is a licensed health and life insurance agent. She received a Master of Business Administration in Financial Services, a Bachelor of Science in Business Management, and a Master in Elementary Education.
Throughout her life, she grew up in a military household and has been around the military for most of her life. The Army values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage are seamlessly ingrained and integrated into her personal and professional life. Being around the military has forced her to become a problem solver (which includes finding multiple solutions to a problem) and overcome adversity by anticipating setbacks and conquering them.
She is a life-long learner and is always attending training and seminars to stay abreast of current financial information. Her previous experience includes 10 years as a tax consultant, assisting clients with tax related questions and solutions. In addition, she has over 13 years in the financial and banking industry, serving several functions, such as financial and priority services representative for a large broker/dealer, investment operations manager, payroll specialist, proof operator, and marketing analyst and proposal writer for a small investment firm. Since her goal in life was to always learn new things from each and every experience; she also spent time as a math teacher, real estate agent, collection representative, account executive, and event lead. The culmination of her diverse, lifelong experiences has combined her two passions of teaching and finances, which leads to a more education-driven approach in helping her clients become financially empowered.
Benjamin Franklin said it best, “If you fail to plan, then you’re planning to fail.” Ms. Carmouché has been a problem solver and planner most of her life, helping friends and family with creating and providing solutions to their personal and financial situations. She truly believes her desire for knowledge and vast experiences combined with traveling around the world in a military family has allowed her to have a diverse perspective and approach to financial planning.
