Summary

I’m a financial services professional and advisor with experience in investment and retirement planning. Over my 15-year career, I’ve had the opportunity to acquire a sound understanding of financial markets, investment products and risk management principles.

I take immense pride in providing great customer service, delivered with a friendly personality, compassion and empathy. In fact, a moto I subscribe to is “provide great service to the client, and the rest will follow.”

I realize that learning and adapting is incredibly important in an ever changing economic and social environment. Being able to roll with punches, staying cool under pressure and keeping things in perspective are traits that allows me to thrive in a fast-paced world.
