By offering clients resources and estate and trust solutions, she helps them with the challenging decisions that often accompany estate planning.

Her consistent support and expertise have supported many families who are going through a difficult period of life. Sandrine says making a difference is the most fulfilling part of her role. She also appreciates the well-focused leadership and always-learning culture.
