I educate and empower domestic and international families for financial success in a non-judgemental and personal way. I founded GreenLife Advisors in 2018 to transform the typical financial advising relationship into one that genuinely serves clients with non-judgemental and personalized experiences tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. Our focus is helping families—many are first-generation Americans or recent immigrants—get organized and set up for long-term financial success. My clients come from widely diverse backgrounds. I also welcome LGBTQ+ clients and provide a welcoming environment. I respect and value each family. Everything we do, from our services to operations to outreach, ladders up to this purpose. What inspires me most is the personalized experience we've created. While my degrees in business and finance allow me to handle the analytical details, my real passion is spending time with clients and guiding them toward the future they envision. I am uniquely positioned to help you and your family through both my personal experiences and the knowledge gained from working directly with families like yours. I also understand working parents' time demands and needs, having been one myself for years. I’m a mother of two teenagers, one of whom is part of the LGBTQ+ community. I hold the credentials and have the education to help: * Certified Financial Planner™ professional. * Chartered Financial Analyst designation. * Masters of Business, University of Chicago Booth School of Business, Concentration in Finance. * Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Political Science, University of Rochester.
