Licensing Coach + Financial Coach

I’m passionate about helping those who are in need of specific help and support for the planning process of the financial part of their lives. I love bringing solutions and security to people's financial journey. 

With a 20+ year history in teaching STEM classes, and going through a divorce myself, I found the motivation to change careers and become a Financial Advisor and educate others in this way.

I help Engineers and families who are going through, or who have gone through a divorce to gain their Financial Freedom and build their  legacy using my custom 5-Step Family process.

Have you found yourself having these feelings:

❌Lacking the time for “one more thing” because you have been focusing elsewhere for so long?

❌Worried that you and your family may not be properly covered if something unthinkable were to happen?

❌Drained from the expenses of the divorce process including custody concerns? 

❌Discouraged and stressed from ongoing conflict,  decreased bottom lines in investments, and feeling like you are starting over financially?

Well, I’m very proud to say that thanks to my expertise and the work I´ve done in the Divorce space, I can help you with things such as:

✔ Navigating this tax season with no worry on your side, our Established Five Step Process will help you find all the Tax Solutions you may need for your new financial goals

✔ Creating simplified, long term, and tax-smart financial strategies with diverse income streams
