Outside of work, Queenie keeps pace with a full family life that includes three energetic kids and a calendar packed with extracurriculars; her days are fast-paced and full of heart.

An adventure-seeker at heart, she’s recently added scuba diving to her list of hobbies and holds a PADI certification with dives ranging from coral reefs to night swims with manta rays. She’s also a baker, a photographer, and a firm believer in the power of showing up, tuning out the noise, and building something beautiful—whether it’s a financial plan, a birthday cake, or a new chapter of growth at GEC.
