What makes you or your firm particularly qualified to serve professional women?
As an advisor, I believe that discussing financial matters can be deeply personal, and that the best outcomes are often achieved when clients work with an advisor who they feel comfortable with. I can attest from my own experience that balancing a career, family, and personal life is a significant challenge for many professional women.  This is why I am passionate about creating a safe environment for my clients where they can be vulnerable, and feel confident that their voice is being heard. My true purpose is to build meaningful relationships with my clients, offer them guidance, and provide them with the support they need to achieve success as they envision it. 

What do you wish more people knew about the process of creating a financial plan?
I wish more people knew that financial planning goes far beyond analyzing spending and savings strategies. My firm’s focus is helping clients achieve their dreams. By acting as a sounding board, I guide clients to prioritize their actions and determine which goals can become realities.  As the relationship transitions to ongoing planning, my role as an accountability partner is to help clients build a solid foundation for their wealth and see all that they have accomplished along the way. I firmly believe that financial planning is not just about money – it's about fulfilling clients' values and enabling them to live their best lives.

What do you think is the biggest mistake women make with their money?
Women often make the mistake of believing they have plenty of time to plan for their financial future. However, time is an invaluable asset when it comes to building wealth, and it's important to start early. Women face unique challenges which may include earning less and living longer than men.  Additionally, unexpected life events can easily derail even the most well-laid financial plans. That's why it's critical to begin planning and investing early, even if it's a small amount, to establish a strong financial foundation that can support your future goals. Don't make the mistake of waiting too long to take action – start now and watch your wealth grow.
