Let's move forward. Together.

It's one thing to be a person of means. It's another to live a life of meaning.

What you do with your money over a lifetime not only affects what your life looks like, but also changes how you feel about it.

Any wealth manager will work to turn cash into savings, savings into assets, and assets into wealth. But even wealth on its own doesn’t mean anything - until you give it meaning. As seasoned wealth managers, we help our clients cultivate and secure, plan, and protect. But we also help you create a strategy that leverages what you have for your own personal goals-and tap your potential to do more, and be more, than you thought possible.

You should be proud of what you've built-and excited about what it can do.

    As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner, with over 30 years of experience in financial services, I am focused on managing wealth for high-net worth investors. My extensive experience - throughout major shifts in the markets - enables me to help my clients structure balanced portfolios to address their specific financial goals.

    I graduated with honors from San Diego State University with a B.S. in Business Administration.  I have also earned the Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®) designation from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.  For this designation, I had to complete approved educational programs, pass a rigorous examination and meet stringent experience requirements.  During my time at Wells Fargo Advisors, I was recognized as a Premier Advisor from 2006 - 2019, a distinction reserved for the firm's top Financial Advisors based on business production, completion of educational components and professionalism.

    Away from the office, I am active with several charitable organizations, including the YMCA and Autism Coalitions. I reside in San Diego and spend my free time with my wife, Paula and our sons, Kyle and Conor.  We like to stay active both physically and mentally, whether it’s by reading, supporting the Arts, yoga, meditation, or skiing.

      I help individuals in developing and implementing investment strategies with a focus on building long-term relationships.  I customize financial advice, provide frequent communication, and ensure that clients’ investment plans are on track.

      I started my career in the financial services industry in 2006 and have attained my FINRA Series 7 and Series 66 registrations.  I also hold a State of California Department of Insurance license #0J02106.  I most recently worked with Wells Fargo Advisors between 2012 to 2021.  I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Business from San Diego State University and I also obtained my teaching credential from National University.  Prior to working in Finance, I taught Science in the San Diego area.

      Away from the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Nick, where we live an active lifestyle and are involved in the community.  I love to surf my local breaks in North County as well as taking trips to surf overseas.  I enjoy working with children through the charitable organization, Voices for Children, where I volunteer as a CASA.

          As a part of the Dawson Wealth Management Group my focus is to implement investment strategies to help ensure our clients success. I am excited to build, preserve and transition wealth for a select group of individuals so they may live a life of significance, whatever that means to them.

          I attended the University of Miami where I studied business management and psychology, earning my Bachelor’s degree in 2015. Before transitioning to the financial industry, I had seven years of experience in sales, marketing & customer service. I attained my FINRA Series 7 & 66 registrations and am looking towards achieving my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation.

          Away from the office, I’m an active, enthused member of the performing arts & live music communities. Competing in gymnastics throughout high school & earning my black belt in martial arts at 17, I’ve remained committed physically, mentally & spiritually to challenging myself at the highest of levels. Staying active through yoga, meditation, and Orange Theory Fitness, I have the eventual goal of completing an Iron Man Triathlon by the time I turn 30.
