What are 3 words people use to describe you?

Positive. Loyal. Empathetic.

What is the best advice you have ever been given?

Don’t sweat the small stuff. Life is too short.

Always trust your initial instinct. It is usually never wrong.

I thoroughly enjoy seeing clients achieve their financial goals, large or small, and being able to be part of that process. Whether it’s assisting with an escrow payment to purchase their dream home or opening a 529 account for a new baby in their family, serving a small part in that special moment in their life is so rewarding.
