ABOUT Marisa

Marisa Facciolo has spent her career helping women. She is a passionate supporter of women’s causes, supporting organizations that help to advance women. A strong believer in education, Marisa is a lawyer and investment adviser for a local wealth management firm. From a young age, she was taught that an education is the only thing no one can take from you and despite the challenges she faced, she continues to grow her career focused on helping others.

As a young girl, Marisa was influenced by women in ways that ultimately would shape her vision for her future. Her parents owned and operated a finishing school in the 1970’s and they hosted many of the classes in their home. As the beautiful models would flow through the front door, Marisa saw how women’s beauty often dominated their careers. Being “pretty” in the 1970’s was emphasized in a way that stuck with her. She saw that women were taught to walk pretty, to dress pretty and to eat pretty. As she grew up she knew that being pretty could get you in the door, but she knew that a woman needed more than just being pretty to be successful. An education was key.

The Dragonfly

Having flown the earth for 300 million years, dragonflies symbolize our ability to overcome times of hardship. They can remind us to take time to reconnect with our own strength, courage and happiness.

Dragonflies represent the wisdom and resilience to adapt to change, and the ability to see the true nature of situations. They also represent becoming your true self through transformation. They represent invincibility and protection.

I always loved dragonflies. It is not lost on me that their meaning in nature signifies transformation, resilience and strength.

The dragonfly embodies the mission, purpose and goals of Present Best.
