I earned a bachelor's degree in entrepreneurship from the University of Tampa, building a strong foundation in business and problem solving. Growing up in Fort Myers and now living in Tampa, I developed a practical, people‑focused approach to financial services. I was drawn to this career because I enjoy conversations around finance and helping others make confident decisions for their future.
I serve the Tampa area and surrounding communities, working with individuals and families who value guidance and long‑term planning. My approach is simple: treat others the way I would want to be treated. I focus on building genuine relationships, understanding client goals, and creating strategies that adapt over time.
Outside of work, I prioritize staying active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I bring that same consistency and care to helping clients protect what matters most and reach their financial goals.
