Marguerita Cheng
Marguerita (Rita) Cheng ’93 knows what it means to find success on her
own terms. Early in her career, she was working at a large firm, when her
sales manager expressed a concern. He said she spent too much time
listening to clients.
“He led me to believe that being empathetic and patient was a liability,”
she said. “I was devastated when he told me that I was a lousy financial
planner.” How could that be, she thought, when she was the one coaching
other advisors on things like options strategies?
Instead of changing her personality, Cheng pushed back – and found
success. She became the president of the Financial Planning Association
of the National Capital Area & served on the Financial Planning Association
National Board of Directors. Now, she manages the wealth of individuals
and families at the firm she co-founded, Blue Ocean Global Wealth in
Gaithersburg, Md.
Ali von Paris
Von Paris launched Route One Apparel while still a Smith student, designing T-shirts from her dorm room. Now, her startup is an iconic Maryland brand, specializing in state pride apparel and accessories worn by everyone – from students to political leaders to sports figures.
“Starting Route One back in college, I feel like I’ve never really had a real job because I’m doing something I’ve always enjoyed,” she says. “When you can do that, it never feels like work.”
