What sparked your interest in financial planning? What fuels you every day in your work?
My dad was an advisor for 45 years and often spoke of investments, insurance, and group benefit plans. He loved finding solutions for his clients, helping them gain financial clarity and confidence. I was surprised to learn that he, himself, did not have a financial plan, and he passed away without a will or estate plan in place. Helping my stepmom navigate probate was a real wake-up call and further confirmed for me that financial planning and comprehensive wealth management are paramount.
That experience helped mold me into the person I am today. But in terms of what drives me, it’s a desire to learn new things and challenge myself to do better each day.

What do you feel is a strength that you have?
I am really good at getting a sunburn, and I have an encyclopedic knowledge of movies.

What do you enjoy most about working at Modera?
The culture. The people at Modera are genuinely kind and incredibly authentic, a rare combination in our industry. This is a company that puts employees and clients first.

When you retire you’re going to…?
Travel and eat all of the pizza.
