As a CFA and CFP® in the U.S. and Canada, with over a decade of experience in cross-border wealth management, I bring a wealth of expertise and a unique cross-border perspective to my clients. Having lived and worked extensively in both the United States and Canada, I have an intimate understanding of the financial landscapes, regulatory environments, and investment opportunities in both countries. Moving to Canada, and then back to the U.S. again, allowed me to experience the things many of my clients go through when moving across an international border. Some things can only be learned through experience. This diverse background allows me to provide comprehensive financial advice tailored to the needs of clients on either side of the border. In practice, I specialize in helping individuals and families achieve their long-term financial goals through personalized financial planning, investment management, and wealth preservation strategies. I am particularly adept at working with clients who have cross-border financial interests, ensuring seamless integration and optimization of their financial plans.
