Nathan Dover, BBA
Benefits, Insurance, & Retirement Planning Specialist
I began my journey in the financial industry after graduating from the University of Prince Edward Island. Studying business in Charlottetown has been a fantastic learning experience as it taught me about the people and how successful businesses operate.
I am excited to share what I have learned and to give back to the community that I grew up in. I strive to provide value to individuals & businesses both locally and across the country.
​
Working with many clients over the past few years has taught me the importance of developing relationships which has helped me grow as a person and as an advisor. I work hard every day to achieve my goal of bringing businesses and families down the path to financial success.
When I am not working, I enjoy keeping up to date with the latest tech, developing my professional career by continuing my studies, and hanging out with my friends.
Nicola Wood, BSc
Benefits Administration Specialist
I have over 24 years experience working in the insurance industry, both as an independent advisor and as an employee of one of the largest group insurance carriers in Canada. I enjoy negotiating with insurance carriers to ensure that you have stable long-term employee benefits rates. In my spare time I bounce from rink to rink with my husband and children.

Maddie Fisher, BA
Operations Manager
I first started working in the insurance industry as a personal lines insurance broker in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, shortly after obtaining my bachelor’s degree from UPEI. I quickly grew an interest in insurance and an even bigger interest in the administrative role of the business.
I worked towards receiving my Executive Administration Certificate to increase my skills and experience. I always aim to provide clients with a positive experience while building and maintaining strong, trusting relationships.
I am a very detail-oriented individual, and I find satisfaction in having structure and order in both my work and personal life.
In my free time, I enjoy playing pickleball, reading, and expanding my culinary skills. I also appreciate my time spent with family and friends.

Kath Perry,(She/Her) EMBA, BScPT, BScBio
Advisor & People and Culture Leader
I am thrilled to join the New Ground team, offering my extensive People & Culture consulting, operations management and program management (especially in the insurance industry) experience. Working with employee benefits plans from the client side has given me a depth of understanding of how this important people support asset is best leveraged. I'm excited to be bringing that perspective and wisdom to helping clients find and manage the best plans for their teams.
I am a passionate supporter of small to medium sized businesses and am especially excited to help purpose led businesses create or evolve their social and environmental policies and practices.
In my down time I love golfing, gardening, exercising, reading and cooking - and especially spending time with my husband and 2 adorable Boston Terriers.
