Additional Information

I am committed to continuing my education. I have 2 masters degrees: an MBA in Finance and a Masters in Personal Financial Planning, in addition to Bachelors in Business Administration. I have deepened my professional knowledge by earning the Certified Financial Planner®, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, and Certified Private Wealth Advisor® designations.

I am passionate about making financial advice accessible to those who have been underserved by my industry. I volunteer with Family Reach, providing pro bono financial planning to families affected by cancer. I also donate my time mentoring and coaching financial planning students at my alma mater, Sacramento State.

In my downtime, I enjoy trying out new Pinterest recipes, exploring local wine country, and chasing after my twin toddler boys.
