As your Merrill advisor, the focus in working with you is to connect all aspects of your financial life to help you prioritize and pursue the goals that matter most to you.
Profile

Since I have a passion for helping others, I decided to join Merrill in 2012 to help better advise families and small businesses around money management strategies and pitfalls to avoid. I hold the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER, CFP® certification awarded by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. and in conjunction with Georgetown University. I also hold a B.S. in Finance from George Mason University School of Business.

Areas of my focus include Asset Management, Trust/Wealth Transfer Strategies, Risk Management, College & Education Planning, Retirement Planning, Tax Minimization Strategies, Credit/Liquidity, Philanthropic Services, and access to family offices and banking through Bank of America just to name a few.

My focus is to help you define your goals, both quantitative and qualitative. From there, I will have a discussion with you around a custom tailored financial strategy that is built around those goals in mind. Once we agree to implement the strategy that is tailored for you, I will then follow up with a regularly scheduled review so as to make sure we are still on track. As your goals change over the years, so will your portfolio strategy

The Wealth Management process can be a complex task for any individual and it’s my goal to simplify the process so that you can focus on what really matters most to you.
