✨ Meet Shanda! ✨
Shanda joined the Ardent team in January 2024 with our Danville office, but her experience in financial services goes back much further. This October, she celebrated an incredible 27 years in the industry!
And when Shanda says she wears several hats, she means it. 😊 As Office Manager in Danville, she also supports an advisor in Oakbrook Terrace, coordinates client and team gifting, and helps keep everything from scheduling to client service running smoothly.
Her favorite part of Ardent? The people. She values the positive, collaborative culture and being part of a team that genuinely cares about our clients and one another.
Outside of work, Shanda loves traveling with her husband, especially to the Caribbean, and taking road trips with their grands and pup to Texas and Arkansas. And when she’s in Texas, Tex-Mex is always on the itinerary! 🌮
A few fun facts you might not know: Shanda has attended a Young Americans Presidential Ball in Washington, D.C., once had the Chief Justice of the United States as a patient at a dental office where she worked, and even went to school and church with a sitting U.S. Senator!
We’re grateful for the experience, care, and energy Shanda brings to Ardent every day. 💙
