Lauren Brotherson is an Associate Financial Planner with an eye for numbers. After graduating from UC Santa Barbara with a bachelor’s degree in Physics, she decided to direct her analytical skills to the world of finance. Lauren passed the CFA® Level I exam above the 90th percentile and intends to sit for the CFA® Level II exam in May 2023.

Lauren strives for perfection in her work and never stops improving her skills — qualities she developed in her time with the world champion Blue Devils Drum & Bugle Corps and by becoming an avid surfer.

Before coming to Capasso Planning Partners, Lauren spent time as a private educator, as well as founding multiple ventures. Her first venture as Founder and CFO brought to market a motorcycle visor with electronically controlled tint, and her most recent is a 3D design firm.

You’ll rarely find Lauren far from the beach in sunny California, where she lives, works, and plays. When she’s not hard at work helping her clients, Lauren can be seen on a surfboard, a skateboard, or a road bike.
