With over 15 years of experience in financial planning, I’m here to collaborate with you to turn your intentions into prosperity. As a Certified Financial Planner with an MBA in Finance and a Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Leadership, I bring a deep wealth of knowledge and practical expertise to every conversation. My journey in finance has been shaped by a passion for helping others, guided by my faith and love for family. I started as a Series 7 licensed advisor, directly managing client assets. Now with my current 66 license, I focus on providing timely, actionable advice tailored to those who need a trusted second opinion or a personal CFO. At my firm, I collaborate with high earners and high net worth professionals who are hands-on with their finances but need expert guidance to unlock their full potential. I see myself not just as an advisor, but as a creative visionary and meticulous strategist, working alongside you to prioritize what matters most in your financial life.
