Weiss, Hale & Zahansky Strategic Wealth Advisors Welcomes Daria Zalewska as Senior Associate, Paraplanner


POMFRET CENTER, CT (April 12, 2023) 

Weiss, Hale & Zahansky Strategic Wealth Advisors (WHZ) has welcomed Daria Zalewska to the firm as a senior associate, paraplanner. In that role, she assists the firm’s financial advisors in the development, oversight, and management of strategic financial planning for the firm’s high-net-worth clients.

“Daria collaborates with our advisory team by doing deep-dive examinations of client needs and any changes to those needs or their circumstances that might require changes to their strategic financial plan or that might bring about new opportunities to better help them achieve their goals,” said WHZ Principal, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer Laurence Hale, AAMS, CRPS®.  

WHZ Principal, Managing Partner and Chief Goal Strategist James Zahansky, AWMA® says that Zalewska has already proved to be a valuable addition to the team.

“In the short time she’s been part of our team Daria has already made a wonderful impact. Our goal in adding this new position to our team was to ensure we continued to provide a personal, proactive, strategic, and exceptional wealth management experience to our clients, even as we continue on a strategic path to quality-focused growth as a firm,” Zahansky said. “Daria’s shared enthusiasm for our goal and her insightful contributions to our advisory team are doing exactly that.”

Prior to joining WHZ, Zalewska was an investment analyst and paraplanner at a Maryland boutique financial planning firm. She transitioned to the financial services industry in 2020 after serving in the United States Air Force for twenty years, during which time she was deployed all over the world in support of Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, and Inherent Resolve. She retired at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and has been awarded the Meritorious Service Medal, Joint Service Commendation Medal, and Air Force Achievement Medal.
