When women are at a crossroads and challenged to make tough decisions, they need a community of support. I became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®, fiduciary advisor, educator, and speaker to make a difference in this regard. Over the course of several decades in finance and corporate America, and having personally experienced the barriers women in business face, I found my passion to help women succeed in life and in their careers.In 2016, I founded WealthChoice, a fee-only (commission-free) financial planning firm focused on helping women executives and their families live life on their terms. Launching WealthChoice was the culmination of years of working with career women and helping them overcome challenges to financial security.I also launched the WealthChoice Community, an organization that hosts guest speakers throughout the year who cover critical career, business, and quality of life topics. The WealthChoice Community also provides the valuable benefit of assembling like-minded women for networking purposes, to provide support for one another, and have meaningful conversations.Building on that sense of community, in 2018 I co-founded with Katie Burke, CFP®, Equita Financial Network, a powerful community for women-led financial planning firms, offering a proven platform that includes all the necessary resources to run a comprehensive financial planning firm including professional, outsourced investment management services. I strive to be a connector and collaborator and pride myself on being a valuable resource to my clients, WealthChoice Community, and advisors in the Equita Financial Network. I am available to speak on topics ranging from the key challenges and derailers of women professionals to emergency continuity planning.
