Meet Maria Passalaqua

Maria Passalaqua

I was drawn to this industry because I love being part of a team that helps improve people’s retirement lives. I’m proud of the work we do, and I especially love hearing our clients’ stories about vacations, family time and the new adventures they’re able to enjoy.

Before joining Curran Financial Partners, I studied at St. Peter’s University and gained strong people skills through work in pharmaceutical sales and at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Each role taught me how to listen well, build strong relationships and help people feel supported.

I live in Charleston with my husband, Frank. We have two wonderful sons, Frank and Daniel, who make me very proud. I spent my childhood summers in my parents’ hometown in Italy, which gave me a deep love for family, tradition and quality time. Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, hiking, cooking for family and friends, trying new restaurants, spending time at the beach and taking walks with our pitbull, Bentley.
