Growing up in a Navy family, I’ve lived in nine different states, from the beaches of Hawaii to the cornfields of Illinois, but Florida now feels like home. Most of my childhood was spent in Annapolis, Maryland, where my dad served as a Permanent Military Professor, teaching leadership and psychology, while my mom worked as a NICU nurse, caring for premature babies. Family means everything to me, and they inspire me daily, shaping both my personal life and my work.

As a student-athlete at the University of Central Florida, I competed in Division I cross country and track. In my final season, a spinal injury changed everything, and I had to leave the sport I loved behind. This experience taught me just how important my work in finance is—because life can be unpredictable, and the things we care about can be taken away in an instant. Now, I bring that same passion and work ethic to helping others prepare for the future, knowing firsthand how valuable it is to have a safety net in place.

I’m passionate about helping young people build strong financial habits early, guiding married couples through the complexities of planning, and giving back to those who serve—whether they’re medical professionals like my mom or military members like the rest of my family. Just as I learned in athletics, I believe in going the extra mile, and I apply that same principle to my clients by serving them at the highest level.
