Tari Popp

Tari (pronounced "Teri") Popp is the Director here in the Office of Planned Giving & Trust Services, and she loves Andrews University. While other alumni have chosen to serve all over the world, Tari decided to put her roots down deep in Southwestern Michigan and to contribute her talents and strengths to her alma mater. After a career of many years, Tari is still proud to be associated with this great school and its mission.

Tari is married to Doug Popp (who like her, is a graduate of the School of Business). They have one daughter, Lauren. Both Lauren and her husband, Tommy, are also proud graduates of Andrews University. Tari loves hanging out with her family and friends best, but also enjoys boating on Lake Michigan, reading a great book, hiking through the woods, eating plant based whole food, and creating processes and organization for the purpose of stress reduction. She also loves being a new grandmother to Kit, and confirms it is as fun as people said it would be!

Doug and Tari made a decision while they were still in their 40s to have the Andrews University Planned Giving & Trust Services personnel, along with estate planning attorneys, help them through the process of setting up an estate plan. Back then, they wanted to make sure that Lauren would be cared for if they were no longer around, and that Andrews University would be blessed as well. Today, "It feels great to know our estate plan is in place and that both Lauren and family, and Andrews University, are remembered." says Tari, "I love helping others have the satisfaction of accomplishing the same thing."

If you ever need to contact Tari, she can be reached at 269-471-3613 or [email protected]

Cindy Hill

Cindy Hill is the Assistant Director for Trust Administration at the Office of Planned Giving and Trust Services at Andrews University. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Cindy attended Antillean Adventist University, where her brother attended, and her mother was a Professor of Nursing. After college, Cindy moved to Washington, DC and later to Atlanta, Georgia where she met her husband, Bryan.

Cindy is fairly new to the world of planned giving but has served as a financial analyst and senior accountant for two AdventHealth medical facilities, as financial services professional with Prudential Financial, as an account and project manager at a boutique estate planning firm in Atlanta, and most recently, as a corporate accountant for a virtual recruiting firm also based in Atlanta. Additionally, she holds a bachelor's degree in accounting and management from Antillean Adventist University and plans to start the process of obtaining the CFRE professional designation.

Bryan, Cindy and their daughter, Savannah, relocated to southwest Michigan in the summer of 2021 and have been active in their local church and school. Savannah is a 7 th grader at Village Adventist Elementary School and keeps her parents busy with her many school and extra-curricular activities.

A few years ago, Bryan and Cindy prepared an estate plan to ensure that Savannah was well protected in case of some unforeseen event and their church and favorite charities were also remembered. That experience was instrumental in giving Cindy a great desire to assist other families in establishing estate plans that reflect their goals and desires for their families.

When Cindy has free time, she enjoys biking, hiking, swimming, cooking, quilting, history and architecture, and traveling with Bryan and Savannah. They also look forward to engaging in short-term mission trips as a family.

If you need to contact Cindy, she may be reached at 269-471-3613 or at [email protected].
