About Stacy Dervin, CFA, CFP®

A woman with shoulder-length blonde hair, wearing a yellow blouse with puffed sleeves, is sitting at a wooden table. She is writing in a yellow notebook with a black pen. A book titled "The Passionary of Women" is on the table beside her.
  • I’ve been a hard-working career woman since I was just a girl, (I started my first business at age 10 painting house numbers on sidewalk curbs).

  • I don’t give up easily— I completed the rigorous requirements to earn the designations of Chartered Financial Analyst in 2012 and Certified Financial Planner in 2023.

  • I’m passionate about supporting small businesses, non-profits, and those with an entrepreneurial spirit.

  • I live in Eugene, Oregon with my husband, two kids (ages 12 and 14) and a Frenchie named Ellie. We love to watch movies and travel together (especially to Mexico!)

  • I would describe myself as cheerful, sharp, creative, empathetic and eager-to-help.
