Financial life planning is about more than saving and investing. It is about making decisions that get you the most of what you value out of life. I work with clients to identify value driven goals, evaluate trade-offs, and make well-informed decisions. My passion is helping clients optimize their resources to enable a rich and purposeful life. I joined Clarity Wealth Development in 2017, bringing with me 10 years of experience in applied economic research and education. I was drawn to personal financial planning because I knew that the tools I was developing in my academic research could also directly impact individuals and families in meaningful ways. With family spread across the world, I developed an interest in global financial planning and specialize in US-Australia cross-border planning. I have a Ph.D. in Applied Economics, hold a designation in Global Financial Planning and am a Registered Life Planner. I love being a part of the Corvallis community, where I live with my husband, two daughters and geriatric dog. In my spare time I like to keep active enjoying the many amenities and adventures our town provides, serving our community, and traveling to far-off destinations (often to visit family and friends).
