The International Assoc. of Who’s Who has Named Carolyn B. Howard as Professional of the Year

Lexington, KY, February 28, 2018 --(PR.com)-- With two decades of experience in the financial industry, Carolyn Howard proves to be a vital asset in her role as a Certified Financial Planner and the Founder of SeaCure Advisors. SeaCure Advisors serve as a financial firm geared to provide guidance for clients to make financially sound and responsible decisions in all stages of life. SeaCure Advisors, LLC, is based in Kentucky and Florida to further help individuals and businesses manage their wealth.

Prior to her role as a certified financial planner, Carolyn worked as a science teacher for seventeen years. However, in 1993 after reflecting on her own financial issues, Carolyn transitioned from teaching science courses to the financial service industry. She began working with Equitable/AXA Financial and specialized as a retirement planning consultant for teachers and non-profit organizations due to her education background. Carolyn has been instrumental in the founding of Pegaesus Advisors, Inc., SeaCure Advisors, LLC, and co-founding an investment advisory firm she eventually sold in 2001.

Carolyn earned a Master of Education in Science Education from Boston University in 1971. Subsequently, in 1968 she received her Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Kentucky.

Her dedication to the profession has led Carolyn to be a sought-after speaker for financial planning workshops and seminars. In 2001 after realizing her clients were experiencing difficulties making financial decisions, Carolyn partnered with a highly-recognized wealth counselor. Her innovative decision proved to be successful, which led to a feature in the Boston Globe and being quoted in the Wall Street Journal. She is inducted into the 2016 “Top Executive of the Year in the Financial Industry” by the International Association of Top Professionals.

Carolyn believes this career is her calling after the passing of her late husband, Jack Howard in 2008 from brain cancer. She attributes her success to developing a more personal understanding with clients, perseverance, hard work, and passion for helping others.

Carolyn has taught retirement planning at Technical Development Corporation, a management institute that caters non-profits in Boston and New England. She provides Pro-Bono financial planning services for individuals and families at the Dana Farber Cancer Center in Boston, Massachusetts.

Carolyn splits her time between volunteering for the Bluegrass Trust for Historic Preservation committee for their annual antique and garden show and sewing with the Dorcas Society in Sarasota, Florida, making clothes for young underprivileged girls.

During her free time, Carolyn enjoys music, art, historic preservation and restoration, swimming, and gardening. She enjoys spending time with her husband, Albert Kelley and her two adult children, Courtenay and Jonathan. Carolyn loves her role as “Mimi” to her two beautiful granddaughters.

Looking ahead, Carolyn hopes to grow as a professional in her business, make a difference in the lives of others and help her community.
