I desire to simplify stock options and personal finance topics. My core belief is that money is a tool that can facilitate spending your time doing what you love, with who you love. I specialize in serving individuals in their 30's and 40's who hold stock options in a pre-IPO company. Together we navigate the nuances of equity compensation, manage the risks you're exposed to along the way, and provide a clarity for how a financial windfall can provide new opportunities for you & your family. Our relationship begins with understanding what you value, who is most important to you, how you desire to spend your time, and what challenges you're currently facing. I aim to create a safe space to ask questions and distill an actionable roadmap to guide you on a path for using your money to live a good life today and in the future. Interested in seeing what an advisory relationship could look like? I'd love the opportunity to meet you & see how I can be of help!
