Employee Spotlight – Meggan Orenstein

MainStreet Team: When did you join the MS team?

July, 2021

MainStreet Team: What has been your favorite project at MSFP, or what are you looking forward to? Looking forward to being part of a team that helps clients achieve their financial goals without the pressure or concern of selling a product.

MainStreet Team: Do you have a favorite book or movie?

I love a good story, whether in book form, on the stage, or on the screen. So hard to choose, but A Lion in Winter is one of my all-time favorite movies.

MainStreet Team: Favorite ice cream flavor? 

Do I have to choose just one flavor? How about two very different favorites?; mint chip or chocolate with peanut butter swirl.

MainStreet Team: What type of music are you into? 

Again, my tastes are hard to classify into one category, but my husband and I love the Steep Canyon Rangers (Carolina Bluegrass) – especially when we can see them live.

MainStreet Team: Where were you born? 

It’s a secret.

MainStreet Team: Tell us about your family.

My family is my motivation and my joy. We actually love spending time together. We are always up for a board game or a game of cribbage. We are a mutli-generation household. My oldest son has successfully flown the nest, my mother lives with us and my youngest is about to start his senior year of college.

MainStreet Team: Where’s the next place on your travel bucket list and why?

Estonia! My husband travels throughout Europe and he can’t wait to share Estonia with me. I love visiting places with a wealth of history, beauty, and gracious people.

MainStreet Team: Do you have any hobbies?

Of course I have hobbies! Gardening, cooking, traveling, and kayaking, to name a few.

MainStreet Team: Do You have any tattoos? 

No, but plenty of scars.

MainStreet Team: What’s something unique about you? 

I have been on a seven-day raft trip with my family on the Colorado River, down through the Grand Canyon. But I still haven’t seen the Canyon from the Rim!
