Debra Pickett

Deb is passionate about helping empower women to take control of their financial future. Her priority is to know her clients and what matters most in their lives. She works with her clients to review their concerns, prioritize their goals, and create a complete, tailored strategy that helps achieve the outcomes they desire.

She began her career as a registered nurse and then progressed into executive roles in sales and marketing in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. She was raised in the Northeast (NY and NJ) and moved to North Carolina over a decade ago.

Deb lives where she works and she doesn't take this lightly. Her connection to the Leland community is genuine and deep. Deb's involvement in the community extends far beyond her office. She serves on the Town of Leland Economic Development Committee and is a member of the Board of Directors for the Cape Fear Region YWCA and Brunswick County Habitat for Humanity. She also serves on the Board of Trustees and Foundation Board for Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center. In addition, she actively supports numerous local organizations and initiatives, including Leland VFW Post 12196 and other civic, healthcare, and nonprofit efforts throughout Brunswick County.

She and her husband, Terry, enjoy playing golf, bike riding, and cheering on their beloved NY Yankees.

"One of my favorite quotes is, 'Purpose is an incredible alarm clock.' Purpose is what gets you to jump out of bed every morning with a smile on your face and eager to face the day. Throughout my life and career, my purpose has been to assist people and to have a positive impact on their lives." -Deb
