JAY, VT, June 25, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Asia Magriby-Palmieri has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mrs. Magriby-Palmieri's professional journey spans nearly three decades and is marked by a commitment to excellence in both financial services and professional skiing. In 2025, she began serving as a licensed life insurance and annuities agent with GFI Group Inc., where she leverages her expertise to help clients secure their financial futures. Her entry into this field was inspired by a very personal experience, particularly the pivotal role life insurance played in her own family's financial stability during the devastating loss of her father who was 50 years old from pancreatic cancer. Mrs. Magriby-Palmieri is passionate about educating others on the importance of financial protection, emphasizing integrity and client-centered service.

Since 2021, Mrs. Magriby-Palmieri has also served as the owner of MountainMama802 in Jay Peak, Vermont. Mrs. Asia Magriby-Palmieri serves as a private ski coach at MountainMama802, sharing her extensive knowledge of extreme skiing with clients of all ages. She coaches a small group of young extreme skiers and snowboarders who compete on the IFSA Extreme east coast tour.

Complementing her work in financial services and ski coaching, Mrs. Magriby-Palmieri has maintained a longstanding role as a property management specialist in Jay, Vermont since 2010. As a self-employed professional, she has demonstrated adaptability and resourcefulness in managing properties while balancing her other professional commitments. She has held a Super Host status on Airbnb and VRBO for the past 12 years.

Mrs. Magriby-Palmieri's earlier career includes notable achievements in media and marketing. From 2002 to 2006, she was the television host of "Power Sports," and co-hosted travel destination shows such as "Wild World of Winter." Her work in broadcasting earned her a nomination from the Boston/New England Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Prior to this, she served as group sales director and international marketing specialist at Jay Peak Ski Resort from 1999 to 2002, where she helped expand the resort's reach and reputation nationally.

Education has played a significant role throughout Mrs. Magriby-Palmieri's multifaceted career. She earned her bachelor's degree in double majors, political science and German, from Williams College in 1998, where she was also captain of the Division 1 ski team. Before Williams College she honed her athletic foundation at Burke Mountain Academy, a prestigious ski academy in northern Vermont. In 2024, she further enhanced her credentials by obtaining certification as a health and life coach from the Health Coach Institute, broadening her ability to support clients' well-being.

Reflecting on her career, Mrs. Magriby-Palmieri credits her husband, her oldest brother, and her mother for their encouragement, love and support, which have enabled her to balance multiple careers while raising four children. The influence of her father's and her grandfather's military service and her father's foresight in securing life insurance profoundly shaped her values and career direction.

Mrs. Magriby-Palmieri believes that priorities must always begin with protecting and showing up for one's children, and that being a kind person grounded in spiritual alignment is essential to lasting success. She has learned through personal experience that anyone can reinvent themselves at any age, though it requires continuous effort and a commitment to growth that does not always feel comfortable. She is a passionate advocate for children, athletes and artists, and believes in the power of manifestation and maintaining order and readiness in one's life to attract meaningful opportunities.

Mrs. Magriby-Palmieri's civic engagement includes involvement with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and her dedication to giving back to the community. She was chosen as the spokesperson for the Pan-Mass Challenge in 2003, a 200 mile bike ride across Massachusetts that raises funds for the children's cancer hospital. For this charitable event she was also one of the featured speakers, where then US Senator John Kerry also addressed the attendees.

Her athletic accomplishments are equally distinguished: she was a slalom winner at the Junior Olympics, placed fourth worldwide on the World Tour Extreme Skiing Ranking and secured second place in North America on the same tour. She was also featured in some extreme skiing films.

Born in Montreal to a Lebanese and Ukrainian father from Fall River, Massachusetts — a Vietnam veteran — and a French Canadian mother from Montreal, Mrs. Magriby-Palmieri grew up immersed in a diverse heritage of languages and cultures within a military family. Her grandfather's service on the beaches of Normandy during World War II further instilled in her the values of resilience and perseverance.

Outside her professional pursuits, Mrs. Magriby-Palmieri enjoys skiing, snowboarding, swimming, paddleboarding, gardening, nature, and life coaching. She is dedicated to supporting her children as they pursue their individual passions through education, entrepreneurship, dance and extreme sports.

Looking ahead, Mrs. Magriby-Palmieri plans to expand MountainMama802 into a comprehensive platform that includes a YouTube show for children and families, integrating extreme sports expertise with financial literacy education, and aims to create community spaces for young athletes and artists. She is committed to growing her financial services business with Global Financial Impact as an elite trainer while maintaining work-life balance focused on family, faith, fitness, alignment and healing.
