My Passion for financial markets and economics has been around for as long as I can remember. Every job and internship I have had from banking to accounting was geared toward helping me learn to analyze companies, the economy and manage investment portfolios. My education consists of a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance with a minor in Economics. I have also earned the Chartered Market Technician and Chartered Financial Analyst designations. These are the gold standard designations for investment research, portfolio management, fundamental analysis, technical analysis and economic analysis. After working with friends and clients for over a decade, I acquired the Behavioral Financial Advisor designation. It became clear to me that clients can better stick to their long term investment plans when they are tied intricately to their most heartfelt goals and values.
