my idea of
living the dream
Working hard so when I'm off-duty I have more than enough wiggle room to play.
dream job
this is my
Being a right-brained gal in a left-brained industry, I push creativeness into services every person NEEDS but they’re rarely excited about. It’s my goal to envision and execute a brand image that is different from any financial services firm out there that draws in both the typical American worker and like-minded advisors looking to go above and beyond industry standards. Let’s make financial services cool for the first time.

make it real
I like to chase new and euphoric experiences whenever possible and make the best out of every moment, big or small. Whether that’s as simple as enjoying happy hour at a new local restaurant, or as big as traveling outside the country to get culturized. Out of the office, you can usually spot me in a hat boating, skateboarding or camping in my girlfriend’s VW van.
