Guiding wealth with insight and care, I help individuals and families navigate complex financial decisions with clarity and long - term perspective. I offer disciplined planning, thoughtful judgements, and a trusted relationship focused on each client’s goals and well-being. My work emphasizes tax-efficient, multi-generational wealth planning shaped by a multicultural perspective and rigorous academic training. I serve professionals, business owners, and families who value disciplined, long - term financial stewardship. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, reading, and spending quality time with my family. My professional and academic journey has taken me through vibrant cities—including Chicago, Indianapolis, New York, and Seattle—before I made North Scottsdale my home. I live here with my husband, a medical oncologist, and our two wonderful children.

Profile

Change is constant, and disruption is the new norm. As a financial advisor, I stay at the forefront of capital markets and global innovation so my clients don’t have to. I provide busy, successful individuals with streamlined access to comprehensive financial services — combining the investment insights of Merrill with the banking convenience of Bank of America.
Over the years, I’ve advised on a wide range of financial strategies, including:

  • Tax-smart planning strategies for high-income earners
  • Diversification of concentrated stock and real assets
  • Liquidation strategies for highly appreciated assets
  • Retirement plans for business owners and their employees
  • Gifting and estate planning strategies
  • Philanthropic giving vehicles for nonprofits and endowments
  • Retirement and education planning

    My passion for this work was reaffirmed while helping a philanthropist friend with legacy planning — a deeply fulfilling experience that highlighted the power of financial freedom and meaningful wealth transfer. I love being a financial advisor because it’s a career rooted in lifelong learning, integrity, and discipline.
    Community involvement is central to my life and work. My doctoral education in philanthropy, combined with my family's deep commitment to the medical profession, fuels my passion for civic engagement, education, and healthcare. I serve as Vice President of the Board of Directors for the P.E.A.R.L Institute of New York and regularly speak on philanthropy for nonprofit organizations across the U.S. and internationally.

Further, ESG strategies may rely on certain values based criteria to eliminate exposures found in similar strategies or broad market benchmarks, which could also result in relative investment performance deviating.

About Me
Welcome

My perspective on wealth is shaped by lived experience across cultures and economic environments, combined with strong academic training and analytical discipline. Early exposure to hard work and financial building instilled in me a lasting respect for perseverance and long-term thinking. As I later moved across cultural and professional contexts, I also gained firsthand understanding of established wealth — how it is structured, stewarded, and used to expand opportunity and legacy My doctoral-level academic training and prior work in academia further developed my analytical approach, intellectual curiosity, and commitment to disciplined inquiry — qualities that continue to inform my advisory work.
