Uncommon for most financial professionals, my background spans psychology, teaching, puzzles, and gymnastics. All of which has helped me become the woman and financial advisor I am today. Having started life in the state of Washington, I moved to Arizona for college. After several years, I found my understanding of individual behavior was well suited to helping people learn about finances. Once I saw first-hand how life changing the results of good financial planning can be for a person, it was like I was struck by lightning. There could be nothing else I would be satisfied doing professionally – being a financial advisor was my calling. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, my passion is helping couples and career-focused individuals who are building wealth and maintaining careers while balancing multiple goals to work toward financial success. I’m a strong advocate of empowering people about money; my mission is to help you overcome the unique challenges you may face to help you successfully achieve financial security and peace of mind so you can focus on what’s important to you. I received my undergraduate degree in Finance from Arizona State University W.P. Carey School of Business. Originally from Shoreline Washington, I’ve called the Valley of the Sun home since 2001.
