Biography


My clients have the luxury of having a trusted fiduciary who is easy to reach, whether it's a phone call, an office visit, or a virtual screen-sharing meeting.  Clients find that the boutique atmosphere of the office, is unique, refreshing, and personable.  I earned a Bachelors degree at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, and then continued my studies at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA), where I graduated with distinction from their Financial Planning (PFP) program.  I was admitted to the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors in 2005.  I am honored to be a fee-only NAPFA Registered Financial Advisor in the state of  Virginia and look forward to meeting you.
