I began my financial career as a problem solver, helping corporations and business professionals structure low-cost financing, implement tax-efficient strategies, manage risk, and identify and access diverse sources of financing in public and private capital markets. The financial crisis of 2008 highlighted the individuals growing need for better access to professional advice and assistance to grow and protect savings in the face of unfavorable and often unpredictable developments in the markets, taxation and regulation, growth and protection of savings, and access to long-term care.In early 2013 I transferred my corporate finance experience and skills from advising corporations to advising individuals, families, and professionals, initially as a Financial Consultant at AXA Advisors. In 2016, I brought this extensive experience to Barnum Financial Group.At Barnum, I collaborate with the Wealth Strategies Division, a team of specialists with experience and advanced skills in individual planning issues, to design customized comprehensive recommendations that take the important aspects of your life into account.I graduated with honors from California State University, East Bay, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science, with a minor in Asian Studies. While working at Wells Fargo in San Francisco I pursued post-graduate studies in finance at Golden Gate University. Currently, I reside in Manhattan and enjoy spending time in the Catskills. In my spare time, I enjoy travel, painting, cooking, landscape design and gardening, hiking, and cycling.
