What I'm looking for

I am seeking a client-focused senior wealth/financial advisory role where I can manage UHNW client relationships, build customized strategies, mentor teams, and contribute to long-term firm growth.

I am a results-driven financial consultant with over 10 years of experience advising ultra-high-net-worth clients across investment advising, banking, and financial management. I hold active FINRA Series 7, 63, 65, SIE licenses and life & health insurance licenses, and I build customized portfolio and wealth planning strategies that include loans, deposits, annuities, life insurance, brokerage services, and managed money products.

Throughout my career I have led teams and managed large books of business—constructing Investment Policy Statements, partnering with planners, attorneys and CPAs, and driving client-centered solutions. After a planned career pause to support family matters, I am reengaging with renewed focus and resilience to deliver comprehensive financial solutions and contribute to a firm's long-term success.
