About

I am a seasoned technology professional and an entrepreneur based in Silicon Valley. I have experience starting and running a software company that was venture-funded and subsequently acquired by a public company.

During my high-tech career, I got intrigued by money matters such as savings, investments, insurance, taxes in order to achieve my family's financial goals. Out of curiosity, I spent time reading and researching various aspects of personal finance. I realized that there are a growing number of financial options available with increasing complexity in these choices. My passion towards financial planning ultimately resulted in pursuing formal education in financial planning, subsequently completing the CFP Board requirements to be a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® Professional.

I launched Encover Personal Finance in 2018, primarily to help technology professionals achieve their financial life goals based on my own experience. I believe in serving clients honestly and transparently in a conflict-free manner. https://www.encoverpersonalfinance.com/about

Worthique

I'm a Certified Financial Planner™ with over 20 years of experience in financial services. I began my career as a paraplanner at Merrill Lynch and Lincoln Financial, then spent more than a decade building financial planning platforms at Fiserv and US Bank. That work gave me a strong foundation in the technical side of planning, but what I always valued most was the human side. I’ve returned to working directly with individuals because I believe financial planning is deeply personal. It’s not just about spreadsheets or investments, it’s about aligning your money with the life you want to live. I founded Worthique to provide a space where you can talk openly about your finances without fear or judgment. I offer thoughtful, clear guidance to help you take ownership of your financial future, on your terms. My approach blends empathy with technical expertise across: Retirement planning Tax strategy Equity compensation Estate planning Investment management Financial planning, for me, is about helping you connect your values with your goals and make decisions with confidence. I’m here to listen, to guide, and to help you build a plan that reflects your worth.
