Maggie Stenman

Maggie is a writer, an entrepreneur, an investment professional, and the mother of three grown children. Finding My Piece of the Puzzle represents a longtime goal of creating content that resonates with people in their everyday lives.

An investment professional with more than 30 years in the industry, Maggie has experience in asset management, institutional bond sales, and writing and communications. She continues to use this background as a freelancer.

Maggie is a staunch advocate of striking work/life balance, and her proudest accomplishment is that of being the mom of three adult children. Having worked full time when they were preschoolers, Maggie opted out of a successful investment career to be at home when the kids were in elementary school. She developed an independent writing business, and worked as a freelance financial writer until the youngest went off to college. She then returned to full-time work.

A lifelong resident of New England, Maggie, her husband, Mike Roye, and their cat, Decker, embarked on their next chapter by moving to FL. They are loving every minute of it!

Finding My Piece of the Puzzle is owned by Maggie Stenman Communications, LLC.
