Donna earned the Sentinel Way award for her dedication to clients and for making processes smooth for advisors: “They actually ask for Donna by name when they bring in new clients!” She goes above and beyond, stays on top of projects and initiatives, communicates effectively, and shares her expertise with others. Finally, her positive attitude and excitement through all interactions were recognized and appreciated.
We live in the city but we are fortunate to have a little house in the country where my family goes to relax and our dogs Blu & Ruby get to run free, even though there is always work to do!
Sentinel genuinely cares about its employees, our clients and the community.

I am an avid concert goer. My husband and I love music! We attend at least 3 - 4 concerts a year, sometimes more… many more!

Dave earned the Sentinel Way award for his quick after-hours work to help troubleshoot printing errors and prepare materials for an important client meeting. He was praised for his "action to help us out off-hours and get the job done, without complaint.”
In my free time I like to go for walks, lift weights, travel and read books on WW2 or science fiction. During the pandemic, while everyone was making bread I picked up the hobby of repairing retro video game consoles and toying around with CRT TVs (the TVs that look like boxes).
At the risk of sounding cliché, the people within the company and helping them be the best they can be. It’s something I didn’t know I missed from my helpdesk days until I transitioned to managing TAC.

I love to read and go to the beach with friends and family, preferably together – there is no better way to spend a summer day!
What I like most about working at Sentinel is the flexibility I’ve had to grow my career and build on each opportunity I’ve been given. In 14 years, I have worked in three different departments and gone back to school to get my law degree – at every phase I learned a valuable skill that has helped get me to where I am today.

Ryan was nominated for the Impact Player Award for his willingness to jump in and partner on initiatives beyond his sales responsibilities. He was commended for his calm, respectful demeanor when interacting with clients and colleagues, along with his collaboration with the retirement advisory team and partnership in internal operational groups.
I am a big sports fan and enjoy staying active as much as I can. Golf and basketball have always been my two sports passions throughout my life and was lucky enough to play both throughout high school. I still play golf today (although never as much as I would like) and use to play in the CT state amateur tournaments when I was younger.
The people I get to work with on a daily basis, including various companies and organizations as well as colleagues at Sentinel. The great thing about Sentinel is the exposure all employees have to the leadership team. It is very much a collaborative environment. For my role personally, I love being able to work with all types of businesses and organizations and it keeps things very fun and exciting. Getting to know how a business was started and the history of their work and culture makes every meeting very interesting, you can see the excitement and pride of the organization come to life.

Despite only being at Sentinel for six short months, Hatta earned the Impact Player Award for identifying an innovative solution to a system limitation for her team. According to her nominator, “Thanks to Hatta’s idea, we rewrote our existing process and has allowed a host of downstream improvements”.
I have an innate love for exploring the diverse corners of the planet, immersing myself in new cultures and experiences. One of my aspirations is to set foot in each of the seven wonders of the world, seeking to witness firsthand the awe-inspiring creations that have stood the test of time. This passion for travel fuels my curiosity and deepens my appreciation for the beauty and marvels that our world has to offer.
It is a privilege to work in such a nurturing and supportive environment, where everyone is invested in each other's success. I greatly appreciate the open-minded atmosphere that encourages brainstorming and allows for the freedom to discuss and question existing workflows, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation. I’m genuinely excited to dig down and lean into my new role, embracing the opportunities for growth and contributing my best to the team.

I love cheering on our New England sports teams. I went to a Celtics game just a month ago and plan to go see the Bruins play next week at the TD Garden!
No matter what department an employee works in, someone is always willing to lend you a helping hand. The people who work at Sentinel Group are truly what I enjoy most about working here.
