My earliest memory of money is watching my mom sort through her large wallet of department store credit cards at the cash register to find the right one for payment. As a kid, it taught me that credit cards were normal and I didn't hesitate to get my first card as an adult. Our early experiences shape our relationship with money, making financial planning deeply personal. Everyone’s journey is unique, and I love learning about your life to create tailored advice that helps you live your best life. My personal journey includes: - Joining a fintech startup as the 4th employee, where I learned to pivot and adapt quickly. - Working with high-earning professionals, which taught me advanced tax-planning strategies. - Teaching financial education webinars, where I honed the ability to simplify complex concepts. We specialize in: - Working wealth accumulators with no minimum for asset management - Equity compensation planning (RSUs/ISOs or NSOs, ESPP) and IPO planning - Proactive tax planning - Working with single retired women Every day, I’m grateful to serve people.
