About

I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley in LA. I spent a few years away while at San Diego State University. After graduating, I spent nearly nine months in Israel working odd jobs and enjoying time with my friends and family.

I came back to LA in 2014 where I got my first "real" job at a large insurance and investment firm. I got licensed as a financial advisor in 2015, which allowed me to focus full time on financial planning and investment management. I earned my CFP® certification in 2017, and soon after in 2018, I decided it was time to start my own firm. I wanted to leave the whole corporate structure behind and work with the clients who I wanted to work with. I was tired of various sales quotas and metrics. I knew I could offer better and completely unbiased service by having my own firm.

Let's connect so I can now learn more about you!

CFP®, CFA®

Malibu, CA

Zuma Wealth LLC

You deserve to feel financially empowered. The problem can be that you feel overwhelmed, overlooked or underserved in your financial lives. Terri understands. It’s why she has taken all her experience over a quarter-century of bull and bear markets managing billions of dollars for hundreds of people to create Zuma Wealth. Zuma Wealth is a firm by women for women. We’ve busted the myth that women aren’t interested in money and wealth topics. Many women thirst for knowledge and continuously seek out opportunities to grow and learn in many areas. Terri understands! Terri’s clients recognize the value of a trustworthy partner and seek her out because she offers support, understanding and an attentive ear. Importantly, she provides tailored advice and guidance so clients achieve their unique aspirations, never the one-size-fits-all that defines the industry. A renowned expert, Terri is a regular guest on CNBC and Bloomberg, and a sought-after industry speaker. She has been interviewed and quoted in hundreds of publications and lauded for making complex concepts simple. Her real world expertise is rooted in a suite of top financial credentials: the CFA charter, the CFP® certification, an MBA in Finance from Columbia University and an AB in Economics with Honors from the University of Michigan. Terri started investing when her father introduced her to the concept of compound interest and she learned she could make money in her sleep.
