Holding the Series 7 and 66 securities licenses, I am equipped with the knowledge and expertise to provide well-rounded financial advice.

In 2010, I joined FamilyWealth Management Group and quickly became an integral part of the team after completing my advanced education and working in Lincoln's National Planning Department. What motivates me most is witnessing the positive impact of my clients' hard work as they work towards their savings goals and achieve milestones like purchasing their first or second home. I find fulfillment in providing support during challenging times, such as when clients experience the loss of a loved one, knowing that the financial plans we put in place are designed to ensure their stability. Working with people and helping them achieve their goals while leaving a lasting legacy for their loved ones is what I love most about my job. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, I currently reside in Pine Township with my husband and our two daughters.
