My passion is to dramatically impact the lives of others by educating on how to maximize wealth potential. My mission is to strengthen the financial security of my clients and discover strategies to realize their financial goals.

Prior to joining First Financial Group, I began working as a Financial Advisor with New England Financial in 1994. My firm affiliation has gone through multiple iterations. I was first affiliated with Cornerstone Financial Partners/New England Securities, which was then acquired by Metlife Premier Client Group of the Midatlantic/Metlife Securities, which was then acquired by Mass Mutual and MML Investor Services. I have been doing business under Capitol Financial Partners since 2017. I am an expert in group health insurance and group benefits for small businesses, individual health insurance, and retirement planning for solopreneurs. I am accomplished in helping consultants and solopreneurs manage their financial lives.

Studying abroad during both undergrad and grad school and interacting with people from all over the world really shaped my overall client approach. I lived in Damascus, Syria for two years when I was in graduate school, where I continued my undergraduate studies in Arabic. This experience contributed to my development as a globalist. On the other hand, in later years, learning about my genealogy and my deep and long family connection to colonial America and Canada has deepened my responsibility as an educated, enlightened American.

I am descended from a line of financial advisors. My grandfather was named General Agent of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company in Springfield, MA in the early 1940s and continued working in the insurance business until his early 80s as a consultant with MassMutual. My father was a Certified Financial Analyst and was the Treasurer of Investors Diversified Services (IDS) while I was growing up. IDS later became Ameriprise Financial. I grew up never imagining I would go into the financial services industry - and here I am, 27 years later. It almost feels like it is in my blood.

I love helping people achieve their best lives and enjoy financial well-being.
