Additional Information
I received my bachelor's degree from the University of California at Berkeley and a master's degree from the University of Colorado. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and have been a regional board member and member of the Leadership Development Committee for the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA), an organization of fee-only financial planners. In my spare time, I love reading, stand-up comedy, playing guitar, classic movies, singing poorly at karaoke (but always giving my best performance), and, most importantly, spending time with my two children.
