As a senior client service associate, Dea is not only the backbone of all things administrative, she’s also essential in helping provide a quality client experience.

In addition to having prior experience as a bank teller, Dea has completed bookkeeping and computer courses. Using the indispensable knowledge she’s gained through her education, she earned a role managing accounts receivable and payroll for a truss manufacturing company. Prior to joining Raymond James, Dea worked as a client associate at Wells Fargo.

While she remains passionate about her current role, Dea’s most honored title was being a stay-at-home mom for 30 years. During this time, she helped raise her six kids – all of whom now have thriving careers – with her husband while relying on her financial and bookkeeping knowledge to assist in managing the family farm.
