Profile

I focus on offering a comprehensive approach to managing wealth that begins with getting to know a client and the client’s family, financial situation and what matters most to them. Then I help them create a customized wealth management approach that can be flexible as their needs and market conditions change. I provide access to the investment insights of Merrill and banking convenience of Bank of America to help address the various aspects of clients’ financial lives. I am driven by my passion for delivering excellent service and helping clients pursue their goals.

Trust is developed through refined communication, which is why I find it best to parley with my clients in the most sincere manner. I have traveled through the circle of life in the field of business and out seeing both opulence and hardship. Because of my evolution, I am grateful to be able to connect with a cornucopia of people. I will always be a sedulous financial advisor because I understand no one is perfect, however that does not stop me from trying. I will tackle the needs of my clients from every angle possible to find the most appropriate solution. I am able to do this due to my 20+ years of experience in a plethora of businesses and also the people tied with them. 
 
My sturdy experience in finance and educational background includes a degree in Decision Sciences which I feel allows me to make critical decisions that are time sensitive.

Great communication skills in English and Turkish with a hint of Arabic.
 
During my time off I like to paint beautiful canvases, cook Mediterranean food, karaoke, salsa/belly dance, and enjoy life.
I follow the deep-seated Merrill tradition of participating in the communities we serve. This drives my interest in spending time volunteering with organizations in our community.
