About Caroline

At Pathlight LLC, we help people get their estates organized and we also help settle the estates of those who have passed. I started the company because walking alongside people during end of life transitions feels like an honor and a calling. It is my aim to help make the process of transition easier, simpler, and more efficient for all involved.

I am a Certified Senior Advisor, a Certified Estate and Trust Specialist and a member of the National and Colorado Guardianship Associations. Previously, I worked as a finance executive at several Fortune 100 companies. My experience includes coaching and mentoring people in all areas of life, including career, business strategy, health and spirituality. In addition to the advocacy in the work I do now, I also served as an advocate for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence for over ten years.
