How did you become a financial advisor?

While I was growing up, I was always helping my friends and family save for their goals and create budgets. Even in high school, when I served as treasurer for our yearbook committee, I realized how much I enjoyed organizing finances and planning ahead. That experience sparked my curiosity. I started researching careers that combined numbers with helping people and discovered financial planning. I knew that's what I had already enjoyed doing, just on a bigger level, so I decided to go to college to start my path toward being a financial planner.

What areas of expertise do you have?

My areas of expertise include retirement income planning and divorce financial planning. I help clients approaching or in retirement design sustainable income strategies that support their goals and lifestyle. I also work closely with individuals navigating divorce to bring clarity and confidence to the financial side of the transition, helping them understand their options, make informed decisions, and plan for a secure future.

What types of clients do you work with?

I work with individuals and families who want a holistic view of their financial lives—people who aren’t just looking for investment advice, but for guidance that connects every part of their financial picture. My clients often ask me questions about their goals and concerns. Whether that’s saving for retirement, managing debt, protecting their families, or planning for the next stage of life—and together, we create a clear, personalized plan to move forward confidently.

What types of strategies do you usually help clients with?

I typically help clients with strategies that create clarity and structure around their full financial picture. This includes developing retirement income strategies to support long-term goals, implementing tax-efficient planning approaches, and building personalized investment strategies aligned with their risk tolerance and time horizon. I also help clients coordinate these strategies, so every piece of their financial plan works together toward the outcomes that matter most to them.

Is there a unique approach that sets you apart? 

What sets me apart is my emphasis on education and collaboration. I believe clients make the best financial decisions when they truly understand their options, so I take the time to explain the “why” behind each recommendation. From there, we work together to implement their financial plan step by step, ensuring it aligns with their goals and evolves as their life and needs change.

What is your favorite part about working with clients? 

My favorite part of working with clients is seeing their progress over time, watching them hit milestones, resolve concerns, and feel more confident about their financial future. It’s rewarding to know that I’ve helped them move from uncertainty to peace of mind.
