Angelique Ayala is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® with Horizon Advisory Group. She specializes in providing holistic financial planning and investment management services. She’s passionate about educating her clients to help them make informed decisions as they work to reach their financial goals and solve their financial concerns.

Angelique is a native to the Northern Virginia area. She was born and raised in North Springfield and now lives in Centreville with her dog, Tigre. She received her Bachelor’s Degree from George Mason University where she majored in finance and minored in economics. In her spare time, she loves to be outdoors, traveling, or spending time with her friends and family.

Stephanie was raised with a private school education, lived in a beautiful part of Baltimore and spent summers at Rehobeth Beach in Delaware. She never wanted for much and her parents drilled into her the importance of doing for others. When her father retired, her parents dreamed of traveling and thought they would pass early on like their parents did. However, they were in for a big surprise. Her father developed a long drawn out disease and her mother had dementia.

Financially, they did not plan properly for retirement nor were they prepared for the long-term illnesses that befell them. They had worked hard raising Stephanie and her two siblings but did not have the proper guidance to invest in their own future and their last days.

Stephanie has made it her mission to educate people on the importance of planning for their dreams.

She has been a business owner for over 25 years. She is passionate about helping people, in particular women, small business owners, executives, and dentists. She focuses on ongoing financial planning, retirement income, business planning, tax planning strategies and portfolio analysis and review. Stephanie is committed to her clients’ values, dreams, and goals.

In her free time, she is Vice Chair of the Board at Dandelion Meadow, an endeavor to help women who are victims of addiction and human trafficking. She is a highly active member of St Paul’s Episcopal Church and helped found their outreach program Love For Children. She enjoys gardening, hiking, travel, and spending time in the Virginia mountains. She lives in Sharpsburg, MD with my husband and two twin children.

Dedra developed a passion for financial literacy after taking an elective course on financial planning while attending the University of Texas, where she got her BS in Radio Television and Film. She fell in love with the Wall Street Journal and Louis Rukeyser and spent the next several years reading everything she could get her hands on to further her financial education.

Dedra began her career in the financial services industry in 2000 with Charles Schwab. She moved to Houston in 2006 to work for a Houston-based financial services firm and joined Horizon Advisory Group in 2013 to provide administrative support. Personally and professionally, she’s seen the devastating consequences of not having a financial plan. Her compassion, attention to detail, and organization allows her to make a positive impact on the lives of clients and contributing to their financial well-being.

Dedra is a native Texan with roots in South Texas. In her free time, Dedra enjoys writing, creating art and hanging out with her beloved cat, Bevo Kitty Longhorn III. Dedra also volunteers with The Women’s Resource of Greater Houston as part of her mission to help women understand and improve their relationship with money.
