A career built inside the industry, then narrowed to federal service.

Krista began her career with New York Life shortly after college, then went independent to open Rock Financial — a practice she owned and operated for more than twenty years, working with clients across all stages of financial planning.

Over the past twelve years, she has focused that experience specifically on the federal workforce through Federal Benefits, a division of Rock Financial. She holds certifications in federal benefits planning and works directly with the rules that govern FERS, TSP, and federal insurance programs.

"My focus is simple — help federal employees navigate retirement with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind."

Because Krista is independent rather than tied to one carrier, she can bring in the specific products and strategies that fit each client's timeline — with an emphasis on safe-money solutions for long-term security. She's worked with employees, agencies, and unions across the country, and is based in East Texas.

Federal retirement isn't one decision — it's a sequence of them.

Each milestone below changes what your income, healthcare, and TSP strategy should look like. Missing the order can cost real money. A session with Krista maps these dates against your own service record.

Confirm your FERS service years, review TSP contribution rate and fund allocation, and set a baseline retirement date range.

Approach MRA

Model your Minimum Retirement Age against your High-3 salary, and start stress-testing income under different retirement dates.

1–2 Years Out

Decide FEGLI and FEHB continuation, plan TSP withdrawal or annuitization, and time Social Security within the FERS supplement window.

Retirement Date

File & transition

Submit retirement paperwork correctly the first time, and move into a monitored income plan built for the decades ahead.
