I understand wealth management and have over three decades of experience in the financial services industry. I serve as Executive Vice President & Wealth Management Advisor for Wealth Standard Financial. As a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC), I am passionate about ensuring that my clients are not only educated about what it will take for them to retire, but how to reduce their tax exposure by de-emphasizing the traditional 401k/IRA tax-deferred model for a model that seeks tax-free income in retirement.Another area I'm passionate about is the financial literacy of professional women. Over the years, I have seen the dual impact of how the gender gap, combined with a shortened tenure in the workforce, has negatively impacted female investors and their families.Investment advisory services offered through CWM, LLC, an SEC Registered Investment Advisor.
