I’ve been a numbers person as far back as I can remember. When I was young, I would do all of the research for my parents when they were planning a trip. I would advise them about which hotels were offering free breakfast and which airline to fly. Looking back, I guess I’ve always been a financial planner at heart, but now I have the real chops.What began as child’s play became skills I honed as an adult and a professional. My research skills coupled with my analytical skills are what I bring to financial planning table. And because I am also a CPA, I look at financial planning from both an investment standpoint and an after-tax perspective, meaning I am always focused on the bottom line, on the numbers.I used those same skills when I was in the auditing field. Although I learned a lot, my personality is suited to a faster pace environment. For me, it’s more worthwhile helping my clients improve their financial education so they can meet their goals. I am motivated by the idea that I am really helping people. That is rooted in my innate attentiveness to each person I meet.In my free time, I’m adventurous and like to travel — Mexico, Aruba, Hawaii — anywhere where there is a beach. I’m also interested in a lot of subjects, from movies — I like the thought-provoking kind like “Interstellar” — to music to food, with sushi being my absolute favorite dish.I can be reached at 310-972-1696.
