MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER BEGAN IN 2019

My previous work as a high school teacher emphasized how important it is to build strong relationships as the cornerstone of one's career. That same principle guides my work as an advisor, where I am able to continue helping people solve problems and make empowered decisions about their futures. I see my role as a trusted and empathetic source of financial education, and I enjoy working with clients to build up their knowledge and understanding of their options.

MY PRIVATE VISTA

As a Chicagoland area native, I enjoy living in close proximity to family and lifelong friends, so my weekends are typically filled by spending time with those I love. My perfect Saturday includes having ample time to read a great book, play with my dog and cheer for the Iowa Hawkeyes alongside friends. Looking to the future, I'd love to run another marathon (I've run Chicago twice!) and continue volunteering in Chicago's education community.
