MALLORY BAUER, ESQ. ATTORNEY/SHAREHOLDER | BERLIN PATTEN EBLING, PLLC
How did you make your start in your profession and what aspect of your work do you find the most meaningful? I had a unique start to my career. Prior to graduating law school, I worked as a transaction coordinator for a real estate team where I learned the inner workings of a successful real estate team. After that, I worked as a real estate paralegal learning the processing and systems of a real estate law firm. Once I passed the bar, I wanted to begin my legal career at Berlin Patten Ebling (BPE) due to their overwhelming presence in the Southwest Florida area. Five and a half years later, I am a shareholder at BPE and couldn’t imagine working anywhere else. I hit the jackpot working in transactional real estate law because I have the opportunity to work with people every day and truly help them with their real estate goals.

MARINER WEALTH ADVISORS | DIRECTOR & SENIOR WEALTH ADVISOR How did you make your start in your profession and what aspect of your work do you find the most meaningful? I have always had a passion for helping others, and I knew very early in college that I wanted to pursue a career as a financial advisor. While at UF, I worked an internship at a wealth management firm, and was able to see the positive impact that financial advisors can have in acting as a trusted advisor for their clients. After that internship, I began looking for a job in wealth management back home in Sarasota and was lucky to find a great fit at Mariner. 100% the most meaningful part of my work is the relationships that I am able to build with my clients. I take great pride in being someone my clients can rely on with any questions/problems they may have - financial or not.
