Brooklyn Miles Director of Marketing & Client Relations
Prior to joining Pathways Retirement Advisors, Brooklyn worked in the dental field and says it was surprisingly similar to the work she does today, as she works to build relationships and address client needs in any way possible. Brooklyn has been recognized for her communication and leadership skills and her ability to handle tough situations.
For our PRA team, Brooklyn works to get our message and services directly to you. She handles all marketing materials for our firm. She finds the best venues for our live events, and she greets every client that comes into the office, ready to help answer questions and assist with paperwork.
Brooklyn and Marques have been married for 10+ years and live in Frisco, Texas, where they’ve begun the journey of raising three young children, Roman, Taytum, and Mila.
When asked to share one piece of advice with the clients she serves, Brooklyn turns to one of her favorite quotes from business author and speaker Grant Cardone: “I suggest that you become obsessed about the things you want; otherwise, you are going to spend a lifetime being obsessed with making up excuses as to why you didn’t get the life you wanted.”
Laura Williams Client Relations Coordinator
With a wealth of experience in delivering exceptional service and tailored solutions, Laura takes pride in creating positive, memorable client interactions that reflect her commitment to their satisfaction and success.
Laura studied at Middle Georgia College and Perimeter College at Georgia State University. She brings valuable skills to Pathways Retirement Advisors from her time in healthcare, including active listening, problem-solving and personalized care. Her experience drives her client-focused approach, helping them feel supported and confident throughout their financial journeys.
Laura enjoys hiking, camping and archery, and spends her time outdoors or volunteering through local food banks and Girl Scouts of the USA. Her close-knit family includes her husband, John; daughter, Elizabeth; and their dog, Taylor. Laura values hard work, integrity and helping others — principles she upholds both at home and at work.
