Miranda Stapel

Miranda is the Director of First Impressions at Forbes Financial Group. She will assist John and Nancy in all aspects of the firm including scheduling appointments and account processing. She will be the first voice you hear on the phone and the first face you see when visiting the office. We are excited for Miranda to play a big role in the many events we host at Forbes Financial.

Miranda is a Southern Illinois native; born and raised in Murphysboro and an SIU alumni. After graduation, Miranda and her husband, Rick, opened a small boutique bakeshop in downtown Murphysboro, Rule of Pie Bakeshop. Miranda was the head baker, manager, and day-to-day operator of the bakeshop for 8 years. Wanting more quality time home with her family, Miranda closed up shop and is currently a real estate broker for the Southern Illinois area. She is a mother to 3 very busy children: Gabe, Adelaide, and Calvin. When not working or cheering on her kids at the soccer/baseball fields, Miranda enjoys traveling to warmer climates, cooking, baking, and having relaxing days at home with her family.
