PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE |

I started in the financial services industry in 2011 with the goal of helping individuals maintain a balanced lifestyle by assisting them with strategies to build, grow, and protect their wealth.  After witnessing firsthand how the Great Recession of 2008 affected my family and the people close to me, I’ve become passionate about helping people make confident financial decisions for their families.  I have spent much of my career obtaining additional certifications, and feel as though education is one of the most important resources I can provide my clients.  I focus on comprehensive wealth management, including retirement strategies and tax planning.  I am also certified in divorce financial planning.

I grew up on Long Island and currently reside in the city of Rochester with my husband, Jake.  I spend much of my free time exercising and enjoying the outdoors.  Jake and I both love hiking and often travel to find nice trails with a great view.  I’m also a big baseball fan, and if our travels ever take us to somewhere the Yankees are playing, you can bet we’ll catch a game.

EDUCATION |
  • A 2007 graduate of West Islip High School in West Islip, NY.
  • A 2011 graduate of SUNY Geneseo, B.A. in Economics and International Relations, with a concentration in the Global Political Economy.
  • Series 7 and 66 securities registrations.
  • NY Life, Accident, and Health Insurance licenses.
  • NYS Partnership for long term care insurance.
  • Holds her CFP® CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER ™ professional designation.
  • Holds her ChFC® (Chartered Financial Consultant) designation.
  • Holds her CDFA® (Certified Divorce Financial Analyst) designation. 
 
COMMUNITY |

I am a member of the Canalside Trailblazers Networking Group and have stayed very active in the Geneseo community, currently serving as the chair of the SUNY Geneseo Rochester Alumni Council.
