Professional
My name is Schanice Staples and I am a Financial Advisor with Northwestern Mutual in Seattle, WA. I was born and raised in the Seattle area and it is currently where I run my practice. I attended Howard University in Washington, D.C. to pursue my undergraduate degree and enjoyed attending the school for its rich legacy and culture. Not only do I help clients in the state of Washington, but I also work with clients in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and California.
My mother has instilled many things into me throughout my life however; one of the things I cherish the most is the importance of helping others. Helping people is the driving force behind the reason I chose a career in the financial services industry. I get the opportunity on a daily basis to help families prepare ahead of time so they don’t have to wish they had started working on their financial goals sooner.
I am dedicated to enhancing the financial literacy of all my clients, and I pride myself on my ability to help educate clients while simultaneously helping shape their financial futures by creating a comprehensive financial plan that incorporates cash management, retirement, risk management and estate planning. The core of my practice is educating clients and making sure they understand the strategy we are creating at all times. I believe transparency is vital to any relationship and ultimately I want my clients to feel empowered.

Uplifting my community
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the fight against gun violence, the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. While also helping with bringing positive experiences to our youth. Here are some of the organizations I partner with:
R.I.S.E
Established in 2020, Resilient In Sustaining Empowerment (RISE) is dedicated to supporting families impacted by gun violence in Seattle and surrounding cities. We prioritize the well-being of children, caregivers, and families, offering healing opportunities in small group settings. Our focus includes promoting positive identity, self-care, child development, and trauma recovery education. With a compassionate team and unwavering commitment, RISE provides a safe haven for healing, resilience, and a brighter future.
Pro Se Potential
Pro Se Potential has been working tirelessly to ensure that youth of color in low-income communities receive equitable access to resources and peer mentorship for a safe and effective transition to adulthood. The services we offer are all geared towards empowering our young people with stability and the agency to discover their true purpose in life. By empowering and guiding young individuals who may have been written off by society for one reason or the other, we hope to inspire change and rebuild broken foundations.
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.
