I founded Hyla Financial with the understanding that the planning needs of women are simply different. On average, we outlive our male counterparts as we age. We are often the primary caretakers for family members, both young and old. We move through the workforce differently. Our money stories—and the ways we relate to our finances—are deserving of deeper conversation. At Hyla, we understand the demands, dreams, and complexities that come with managing life and money. Here, you are not a niche to market toward; you are our singular focus. I bring over a decade of experience in financial services as the founder of Hyla Financial. I became a CERTFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional in 2019 and earned my Master’s in Taxation from Golden Gate University in 2023. I love process and the power it has in all aspects of life; whether it be in financial planning or unlocking new hobbies and meeting a personal goal, you can find a roadmap in everything I do. I live, work and play in the Rio Verde foothills of North Scottsdale with my husband, Spenser, and dog, Huckleberry. If you're in the area, you're likely to find us running, hiking or biking through the beautiful trail systems!NAPFA Start Date
