VP of Client Services

Liz@brentfinancial.com

Liz brings exceptional experience from New York City's elite financial sector, where she served as Operations Supervisor in a Private Banking Division, managed economic development loan processing, and nurtured relationships with High-Value Private Banking Clients.

With a business management degree from Southern New Hampshire University and finance management certification from Baruch College, Liz has continually expanded her expertise. Her completion of transformative mediation training allowed her to help the Dutchess County community turn "conflict into conversation." Her bilingual abilities have also proven invaluable in extending these services throughout the community.

While working in the Poughkeepsie Mayor's Office, as an appointed official, Liz provided critical bilingual support to the Latino community while administering ordinances, policies, and procedures, and addressing constituent concerns.

Community involvement remains central to Liz's life. She actively volunteers with her place of worship and various non-profit and outreach organizations, having also previously dedicated time to her children's educational institutions throughout their academic journeys. During her leisure time, Liz explores the richness of the Hudson Valley, enjoying local music venues, wineries, and the charm of its quaint towns.
