Kacy A. Reece-Balboni

Marketing Manager

Why I get up in the morning:
Each morning is a fresh start and getting up is pretty great when you know that going to work means you get to do what you love. Every day at AFS 401(k) is an opportunity to expand my knowledge, make new connections, and ultimately help make an impact in someone’s financial life.

How I got here:
I graduated from Susquehanna University with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications Studies, and a concentrated minor in Photography. I spent the summer after graduation searching for employment as most graduates do and in September 2016 I joined the AFS team. It’s been an incredible learning opportunity and I consider myself so fortunate that I start work every day with a smile on my face. I'm also pursuing my Master's degree in Contemporary Communications at Notre Dame of Maryland University. 

What I do really well:
At AFS my strength comes in my differences, and how I use my abilities to collaborate with others. Our small marketing team works closely with advisors taking their vast knowledge and finding creative ways to highlight it. I have enjoyed learning more about the financial industry, though my primary confidence resides with knowing how to get the right lighting in a photograph, or how to compose an engaging blog post. By blending my creative marketing background with our staff of expert financial professionals, we are able to provide down-to-earth financial guidance for the everyday person.

What I’m most interested in for the retirement industry today:
There is so much more to the retirement industry than I ever knew before starting this job. I joined this team not even knowing where to begin when thinking about retirement. However, during my time at AFS, I have seen the vital role we play in helping people achieve their financial dreams, both for tomorrow, as well as today. Retirement and financial wellness go beyond just saving in your 401(k) plan; it’s about creating a financially sound life. We’re educating people about how their everyday decisions can affect their financial well-being, and how that can have positive effects on their life overall. Since starting at AFS I’ve even begun to think about my own retirement dreams, which include traveling to Iceland, adopting at least four dogs, and then moving somewhere warm.

Who I am really:
I’m a proud native of Frederick, Maryland, where I live with my husband, Justin, and our two dogs, Keelie and Nya. On a typical weekend, you’ll most likely find me at home watching my favorite TV show or exploring downtown Frederick in search of delicious restaurants.  

Volunteering has been a passion of mine since before I can remember. I used to work with a non-profit organization called The Arc, which provides assistance to those with physical or mental disabilities. Through The Arc, I spend time with one woman in particular that aspires to learn photography. Working with her is the perfect blend of my passions for photography and serving others.

When I’m not volunteering you can find me living my life with the motto: “Adventure is out there”. Whether it’s going kayaking with friends or trying new food, I’m always ready to take a chance.
