My career started in education with Teach For America in Baltimore City Public Schools where I spent several formative years as a teacher. Those early days in the classroom shaped not just my career but also my understanding of the power of knowledge and its transformative impact.Intrigued by personal finance and the ever-evolving financial landscape, I transitioned to become a financial advisor and earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification. Over the last dozen years, guiding individuals and families toward their financial goals has become not just my profession but my passion.I have been recognized for excellence and leadership in the wealth management industry, as 2019 Chair of Merrill Wealth Management’s NextGen Leadership Council and as a coach for the financial advisor training program at Merrill’s Fifth Avenue NYC office.I continue to be involved with Teach For America and in 2024 was invited to become a member of their New Jersey Advisory Board.When not out in nature or supporting my children’s extra-curriculars, I can be found most weekends cheering on my beloved English Premier League soccer team, Tottenham Hotspur.
