I started in this industry in 2008. I'm so grateful to have experience supporting clients through the great recession. It taught me the value of a disciplined investment approach, using empirical data and math to manage portfolios and remove the emotions that cause us to make poor investment decisions. My framework for advice is goals focused. We figure out how you want to use your money during your lifetime, then work backwards to arrive at the best financial decisions to support your goals. This is our guiding light. I'm passionate about financial education and empowering clients to understand the "why" behind the "what to do". My personal journey includes: - Joining a fintech startup as the 4th employee, where I learned to pivot and adapt quickly. - Working with high-earning professionals, which taught me advanced tax-planning strategies. - Teaching financial education webinars, where I honed the ability to simplify complex concepts. I provide a white-glove service to support every financial decision and bring peace of mind. Every day, I’m grateful to serve people.
