My story

I became a financial advisor in 2012. Before that, I spent 10 years as an executive assistant and another 10 years working in Purchasing at a major medical device manufacturer.

When I began my career, I was given just one choice for medical benefits and retirement savings, and there was one person in the office who sat down face to face with me to explain everything.

As technology evolved and benefits became more complicated, I noticed that most people didn’t understand their choices, weren't taking advantage of everything their plans had to offer and were choosing benefits that weren't best suited for their needs.
Instead of receiving personal guidance, employees were given a 1-800 number to reach someone who knew nothing about them. Or, they were directed to a website loaded with information that left them even more confused.

I realized that people needed a more customized approach to their finances – an expert who could help them make the best decisions for themselves and their families.

That’s why I became a financial advisor …

To help my clients replace confusion with clarity. I love to educate people on their finances in a way that feels good to them – ditching the jargon and turning complicated terms into relatable and inspiring conversations.

Sound refreshing? I’ll help you move from a place of fear and uncertainty to knowing you can create whatever financial future you dream of. No money challenge is insurmountable and every goal is achievable!
