“A goal without a plan is just a wish.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery I founded WorthWise Financial Partners because I believe that everyone needs a financial plan. We specialize in helping young and mid-career families of all shapes and sizes juggle saving for college and retirement while living a full life along the way. We welcome families just starting to build wealth and enjoy helping LGBTQ families navigate their unique challenges. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional, and a Project Management Professional® with a degree in Economics and English from Rice University. Prior to founding WorthWise, I worked at Aon Hewitt for over 20 years working with large companies to help their employees protect their families and achieve financial goals through retirement and insurance programs. As I talked with friends and neighbors with growing families I recognized the challenges they faced juggling competing financial priorities. I also observed the missteps they often took through lack of the time or knowledge to successfully navigate their financial lives and the perception that financial planning was just for the already wealthy. I am now putting my decades of experience to work helping families turn their hopes and dreams into achievable goals! I have two kids in college and live with my husband in Houston, Texas. I serve clients virtually across the U.S. and currently have clients in 13 states. When I'm not financial planning or reading about financial news and trends, I enjoy cooking, wine, gardening, and SCUBA diving. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss how we can bring financial peace of mind and confidence to you and your family and help you live the life you envision!
