Biography
When I began working in the industry in 2004, I focused on investments, thinking that this was where I could do my best work. Building on my degree in Economics from the University of Michigan, I learned as much as I could about how the economy affects different sectors and types of investments, while studying the financial statements of hundreds of companies. I earned a CFA charter in 2010, which is considered to be the gold standard among investment designations.
In 2007, I began working more directly with clients. I realized that while investments were important, they were just one part of my clients' overall financial picture. It seemed like I could do much more to improve their situation if I expanded my knowledge of financial planning.
When I earned my Certified Financial Planner certificate in 2017, I realized how much I could do to help my clients and that realization was exciting! Investments were just one layer of my clients' plans - now I could add even more value through tax, estate, charitable, and insurance planning. I love the challenge of the complex nature of financial planning and think about my clients' financial plans constantly, always looking for ways to add more value to their plans.
I have always wanted to help people and to work with money. It is a tremendous privilege to be asked for advice about what to do with a family's finances, and that is why I am dedicated to making the most of out of each client's situation.
Outside of work, I spend nearly all of my time with my family, and volunteer for the Kenowa AMBUCS and IKUS Life Enrichment Services.
