Professional

Hello, I am Molly Cook, better known to some by my maiden name Molly Wall. On, April 30, 2022, I married Garrett Cook at the beautiful Stan Jones Mallard Duck Lodge. We built our first home in my husband’s hometown of Piggott, Arkansas. I was born and raised here in Jonesboro and am an alumnus of Arkansas State University, where I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Finance and a Minor in Marketing.

Outside of Northwestern Mutual, I spend many nights and weekends coaching a local Junior Olympic Volleyball team and travel across Northeast Arkansas barrel racing. Volleyball and barrel racing my entire life have taught me mental toughness and the tenacity to get things done.  

While at Arkansas State, I had the opportunity to interview for an internship at Northwestern Mutual. After being accepted into the program, I was named a top 100 intern in the country and qualified to attend Winter Camp for my achievements. Fast-forward to May 2021, I was extended a full-time offer after graduation. The internship made a significant impact on my career as a financial advisor. 

I am most known in the office for my outgoing and ambitious attitude. I never back down from a challenge! When chosen as your Financial Advisor, I can guarantee you will receive not just a friendly face but someone you can always count on to be there. My philosophy is to make sure each client has financial security through every stage of life. I help create financial security and educate you about every available opportunity.

Lending a hand in my community.

As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)

ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.

When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.

Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.

It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
