“My work isn’t a job for me, it’s a passion. I serve as a personal Financial Coach through my church and lead groups through financial planning workshops, continually looking for ways to help people improve their lives through wealth management.
I especially enjoy helping people who come in with questions and uncertainty by communicating complex strategies and planning concepts in a way that’s straight forward, understandable and relatable.
Providing the peace of mind that comes with knowing they have a plan in place that meets their needs.”
