Congratulating Monique Street: A 2025 Financial Planning Rising Star

We are proud to announce that Monique Street, CFP®, AFC®, Relationship Manager at AAFMAA Wealth Management & Trust LLC (AWM&T), has been named one of Financial Planning’s 10 Rising Stars of 2025. She distinguished herself from 150+ nominees to be selected for this national recognition. This honor celebrates Monique’s exceptional leadership, commitment to military families, and her unwavering passion for advocacy in financial planning.
Monique’s journey is defined by service. As a military spouse herself, she understands the unique financial challenges faced by servicemembers, Veterans, and their loved ones, such as frequent relocations, deployments, and career transitions. That personal insight fuels her mission to empower military families with the knowledge and tools they need to secure their futures.
Monique shares, "When sitting down with a military family to discuss their finances, I see more than just numbers on a page. I see their story, their sacrifices, and their hopes for the future. It's fulfilling to learn about their journey and help them navigate the next chapter with confidence."
Over the years, Monique has gone beyond managing investments. She has worked closely with government officials, financial professionals, and community leaders to address systemic barriers that impact military families, including access to retirement benefits, budgeting education, and food security.
As part of the AWM&T team, Monique works directly with servicemembers and Veterans to provide trusted guidance tailored to their lives. Her recognition as a Rising Star reflects not only her talent but also a deep commitment to serving those who serve.
Please join us in congratulating Monique Street on this outstanding achievement and in celebrating the difference she continues to make for military families everywhere.
