What’s one piece of advice you give often? Network, make connections and stay in touch with people. You never know when those connections may come in handy.

What do you enjoy most about working with clients? I enjoy getting to know them and their families on a personal level. I enjoy sharing in their accomplishments and being there for support in times of need. We call it our client family.

What inspired you to get into your current line of work? I also enjoyed investments and managing money and then that slowly involved into financial planning. When I learned that I can do that for others and make a career of it – I knew that was my calling.
