I started my career as a financial advisor with a desire to change individuals' lives and provide guidance in a way that my family never had access to growing up. After 20+ years of experience in the financial services industry working at Fortune 500 firms, regional independents, founding and taking public an investment banking firm, and consulting for small businesses and billion-dollar institutions alike, I took time away to get married, start a family, and take a deep breath. In that pause, I rediscovered a love for my work and a vision of a wealth management platform emphasizing improving the client experience through technology and personal advising.
