Sr. Wealth Advisor and
Manager of Financial Planning
Life is full of major decisions that may cause one to feel overwhelmed and as a result, those decisions may get put on the back burner. My passion is to understand what is truly important to my clients, educate them on relevant strategies, and help to implement a plan they can have confidence in. As a Wealth Advisor, clients rely on me to plan for some of the largest financial transactions of their lives. Whether saving for education, planning for retirement, or navigating a transition of wealth due to death or divorce, planning is a critical component of a successful outcome.
