My name is Carynna Mott and I am a proud resident of New Haven, CT.
I joined the Mercer Advisors team as a Client Service Specialist because I cherish helping people and providing comprehensive support. My passion lies in empowering others to achieve financial well-being towards a more secure and confident future. One day, I hope to earn my CFP (Certified Financial Planner) designation to deepen my understanding of holistic planning and better serve clients.
I am a UConn alum, where I pursued my B.A. with a double major in Economics and Psychology having a specialized focus on consumer psychology. Go Huskies!
Beyond my professional endeavors, I find joy in skiing, Pilates, yoga, tending to my many plants and exploring the outdoors with my pups through hikes and camping trips.

Get to Know Carynna

What is a social cause you feel passionately about, and why is it meaningful to you? I am deeply passionate about queer right as I firmly believe that everyone deserves the freedom to love without fear, hate or judgment. Many of my friends and I identify on the spectrum of the rainbow, and I have unfortunately witnessed unsurmountable levels of discrimination. In high school, I was so concerned with the prevalence of homophobia in that I started the Gay-Straight Alliance club to help combat hate and promote a more inclusive environment. I will always support and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
Do you have any pets? I rescued 2 fur babies: Buddha who is a 2-year-old Basenji/Pit Mix & Asher who is a 1-year-old Jack Russell/Hound Mix.
What is a quote you like to live by? "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." -Alfred Lord Tennyson
