Caryn is a Client Service Associate at The Manning Companies, where she brings nearly 15 years of retirement plan experience and an infectious energy that makes everyone around her feel supported, valued, and a little more optimistic about the future. She has a particular passion for helping businesses design retirement plans that make a real difference in employees' lives today and set them up for the future they deserve.
Connection is at the heart of everything Caryn does. Whether she is helping a client feel heard or jumping in to support a teammate through a challenge, she leads with warmth and a can-do attitude, guided by a personal philosophy she calls CARE: Caring, Reliable, Responsive, and Easy to work with. She believes the best outcomes happen when people communicate openly, support each other, and can have a little fun along the way.
Caryn's path to financial services began as a nurse, a career she loved and was dedicated to for six years. When an accident made it impossible to continue, she found herself searching for a new way to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. Financial services turned out to be the answer, and helping people build a clear path toward financial security and the life they want to live gives her the same sense of purpose she found in nursing.
Caryn holds an Associate of Science degree from Barton Community College. She came to The Manning Companies after working closely alongside the team for several years, drawn by the culture, the values, and the people she had already come to know and respect.
Outside of work, Caryn's world revolves around her kids and family. You can find them hiking, camping, fishing, or exploring new parks together. On any given weekend, Caryn is almost certainly their biggest and loudest cheerleader on the sidelines.
