Born and raised in California, I developed a strong passion for finance and client relations early on while working for my family’s business. I had the privilege of working with ultra-high-net-worth families in Beverly Hills, where I honed my skills in wealth management and built lasting relationships with clients. After relocating to Nashville, I continued my journey in private wealth management, dedicating the past six years to providing tailored financial solutions and exceptional service to clients. My diverse experience and commitment to understanding the unique needs of each family allow me to deliver personalized strategies that align with their financial goals. When not working I enjoy spending time with my husband and children on the lake near our home and traveling.
