With our clients, I focus on exceptional service while being responsible for all administrative, operational and compliance functions of our team. I attribute much of my success to being proactive and diligent and am gratified by the long-term, solid relationships developed with clients and their families as a result.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, one rescue dog and two very talkative parrots.
