Biography
Financial planning requires integrating many moving pieces including attention to detail and knowing not only how to take the pieces apart, but to put them back together in a way that fits and makes sense. Working collaboratively with her clients, Nicky makes what seems complex, simple to understand, and together with clients, they plan and organize so that the focus is not on just one challenge, but the entire family. Nicky coordinates care and ensures that families can understand both the risks and the opportunities they face.
As a graduate of St. Ignatius College Prep and Loyola University Chicago, Nicky has been educated as a woman for others and she affirms, “I know the wealth that I manage is the method families can use to ensure they are cared for not just for their own lifetime, but for future generations as well.” Nicky began her career in financial services as a Wealth Advisor Asso- ciate and much like she did in her youth, “I took apart the fragments of my extensive training and put the pieces back together in a cohesive way that can best serve my clients.”
Since earning her Certified Financial Planner™ designation and Master of Business Administration from Western Governors University, she is determined to share her passion and enthusi- asm for finance with the next generation of the industry. She currently teaches Finance at Harper College and UCLA Extension. She focuses her practice by serving families affected by special needs and helps them to rest assured that they can focus on their entire families and not just the fear that arises as a result of having a child with special needs.
Nicky is driven to serve others in her work as a financial planner, as a teacher, and as a volunteer serving within her commu- nity. Her personal and professional goal is to, “strive to serve others first and to always be deserving of the trust that is placed in me by those I have the privilege to serve.”
Nicky’s time outside of work is spent with her alumni societies and volunteering with Savvy Ladies, an organization determined to reduce disparities in financial education for women, Crisis Text Line, and Alpha Phi Omega. She and her wife, Lauren, enjoy training for triathlons with their rescue dogs, Kahawa and Nishka.

About Falcon Wealth Planning:
Falcon Wealth Planning, Inc. is a Registered Investment Advisor offering an innovative business model for financial planning; a model that places the client first by design and eliminates the conflicts of interest inherent in traditional models.
Every aspect of Falcon Wealth Planning is aligned with the client’s interests. The hybrid, retainer-based business model overcomes one of the major criticisms of the financial planning industry: a conflict of interest between the client’s needs and the advisor’s compensation. Falcon Wealth advisors are salaried employees who are never compensated by the sale of financial products or asset management fees, allowing them to focus on providing the best planning advice for their clients.
