About Me
I celebrate who I am—a wife, mother, experienced professional and entrepreneur—because it helps me connect to the needs, hopes and expectations of my clients. I understand firsthand the challenges that keep professional women from maximizing their full financial potential. I also know it’s possible to turn that around with just one meeting, one change, one decision.
You’re great in your career. Make sure your finances reflect that. Let’s work to ensure you’re making the right choices to increase your growth potential. I work with professional women who are ready to optimize their finances no matter what stage of their career. My goal is to make you feel comfortable throughout the process as we develop a relationship based on trust and honest communication. Those qualities are important in any relationship and it’s no different with your financial planner.
