Deana began her financial services career in 1998 with American Express Financial Advisors before joining Morgan Stanley in 2002. In 2004, she joined Rosenthal Wealth Management Group, where she spent more than two decades helping build enduring relationships with clients and serving as a trusted advisor through both life's milestones and its unexpected challenges. While balancing a demanding career and raising a family, she completed her CFP® education program at Georgetown University and earned CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification from CFP Board.

Originally from Tennessee, Deana now lives in Northern Virginia with her husband and enjoys spending time with her growing family, nature photography, travel, music, and exploring the outdoors. Whether meeting with clients, speaking to audiences, or hosting financial discussions on the air, her goal remains the same: to help people work toward greater clarity and confidence through thoughtful financial planning.
