I am presently the owner of the Little Neck (Queens), New York City office of Mid-Atlantic Securities, Inc., a boutique financial planning firm, investment advisor and broker-dealer headquartered in Raleigh, NC.  In addition, I am a full-time tenured professor of finance at New Jersey City University, in Jersey City, NJ, where I am the graduate coordinator for finance.  I am married to my wonderful husband, Mardiros Hatsakorzian, who I met playing racquetball (a sport that my knees no longer let me enjoy) back in the 1970s and we live in Flushing, NY.  I have two sons, Adam Overton and Aaron Overton, and five grandchildren. My mom, Dr. Elise Brinkley, still lives in Sugar Land, as does my sister Dr. Mazie Leftwich.

 

I am a past president of the Flushing Rotary Club, and Vice President of the Flushing Council on Culture and the Arts. I was featured on the cover of The Register, the magazine of the International Association of Registered Financial Consultants last year, and will scan in the cover and the interview as soon as I can. (It still feels a bit odd to be putting this stuff on the web.)

 

I love to cook, play with the computer, and I love what I do for a living. God willing, I will be able to keep on working, since I enjoy it so much. I particularly like setting up pension plans, since I always feel like I am helping people when I am able to install a pension plan in a business that never had one. My husband and I are into gardening, and have been working on the garden around our house in Pennsylvania, where we escape from the hustle and bustle of New York City on the weekends. 

 

My biggest problem is that there are so many things that I find interesting and would like to do, and there just isn't enough time to do all of them. Not bad!
