Cheryl C. Blakey is a Wealth Advisor at Avior
Cheryl C. Blakey is a Wealth Advisor specializing in Retirement Planning and Small Business Planning, bringing 12 years of financial advisory experience to her clients.
Before transitioning into financial services, Cheryl spent 25 years in the veterinary pharmaceutical, diagnostics, and therapeutics industry, where she built an extensive background in sales, marketing, and small business consulting. Her work focused on introducing innovative diagnostic technologies, therapeutic and treatment solutions, and practice-enhancing services to veterinary professionals — giving her a deep understanding of the operational and financial challenges small business owners face every day.
At the age of 51, Cheryl made a bold career change, stepping into financial advising while simultaneously providing in-home caregiving for a parent. That deeply personal experience gave her a firsthand appreciation for the critical importance of sound financial and retirement planning — not just as a professional discipline, but as a life necessity. Her unique journey has shaped her into an advisor who leads with empathy, real-world insight, and unwavering dedication to her clients.
Cheryl holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Delaware, with a major in Marketing and a minor in Economics.
She is deeply passionate about partnering with clients to design, develop, and implement a personalized roadmap for financial success — helping them identify the goals that matter most and building a clear path to achieving them.
