What qualities make you best at your work?
I bring precision and genuine care to detailed, high-stakes work. In a role centered on divorce and financial planning, clients need someone who gets the details right and communicates clearly during a difficult time, and I try to combine analytical rigor with that same attentiveness.
How should people think about wealth?
Wealth isn’t just numbers on a statement, it’s tied to security, transitions, and the people you care about. I think the best planning treats it that way, grounded in clear-eyed analysis but shaped around what actually matters to the client’s life.
How do you spend your time outside of work?
I like going to the movies, playing tennis, having coffee with my friends, listening to music, and playing boardgames and card games.
What accomplishments are you most proud of?
Being selected for Girls Who Invest, Zeeba Investment Group, and my role at FBB Capital, each from a highly competitive pool of applicants, and then following through fully on what they demanded of me. At FBB, that meant taking full ownership of an equity pitch from research through to the investment committee, seeing my recommendation adopted into two funds. At Zeeba, it meant completing a rigorous nine-week training program and taking on real responsibility across two investment desks. At Girls Who Invest, it meant completing the full nine-month program alongside my coursework. Each one asked a lot upfront just to be considered, and I’m proud that in every case, I followed through on what that opportunity required.
