I am a Founder and Partner at Emergent and conduct financial and economic research that the firm uses to develop investment strategies, as well as create custom financial plans to the needs and goals of our clients. That's all when I'm not enjoying Charlottesville vineyards and restaurants, reading and writing, playing the piano and tennis, and relaxing at the end of a long day with a cup of espresso! Prior to founding Emergent, I was a co-founder of Bell Tower Associates, LLC., an economic and investment research firm, where I served as a research analyst working on monthly and quarterly reports, portfolio universe creation, biotechnology research, and analyst recommendations. Before founding Bell Tower Associates, I served as an intern for Cypress Asset Management.I received my Bachelor of Arts degree, cum laude, from the University of Virginia.
