Meet the Team
At My firm, I have a holistic wealth management strategy
My reason for becoming a financial professional are deeply personal. After years in the corporate accounting and finance world, I experienced a divorce when my son was very young. My goal was to be available for him when I had custody of him and not to put him in daycare. An old friend introduced me to his manager at his wealth management firm and my journey began. I am confident that with my understanding of personal finance, coupled with my training as a financial professional, I can help people better prepare for the future. After years in the business, I have developed a reputation for educating individuals in an easy-to-understand manner so they can grasp personal finance and use those concepts to pursue their financial objectives. I feel a commitment to women who have experienced a divorce or death, in helping them feel more in control of their finances and more confident in their financial future.
I Specialize In Working With Women Post Divorce And With Women Who Have Lost Their Spouse.
Divorce is a stressful experience and for many women the stress continues after the divorce is final. Many women have not been involved in managing the family finances and it can feel very scary to be taking responsibility and control over their finances. Women want to make good decisions with the money they receive as a result of a divorce or death. I work with women to prepare a financial plan that is tailored to their new life, needs, goals and possible supplemental income needs. Women who have lost a spouse, commonly have a similar financial situation as those women who have experienced a divorce.
