Erin Wood is the Senior Vice President of Financial Planning and Advanced Solutions at Carson Group. She began her career in personal finance promptly after graduating college where she practiced as a financial planner in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 

She developed a passion for helping people at a relatively young age, and the fulfillment of seeing a family achieve their financial goals led Erin to eventually own her own financial planning business in her late twenties. 

Being a local girl at heart, Erin decided to sell her practice and move back to the Omaha area so she could be closer to her family and so she could help people from the community that shaped who she is today. 

Her work in Omaha continued as a Private Client Advisor for a regional firm, where she was quickly asked to create and lead her own financial planning team. The success in this venture along with her continued passion for helping others led Erin to her career with Carson Wealth Management.

Erin holds a Certified Financial Planner designation as well as Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor and Financial Behavior Specialist designations. She received her M.S. in financial psychology and behavioral finance from Creighton University.
