What makes your company unique?
Our unique approach lies in combining advanced technology with high-touch client service. We leverage technology and analytics to enhance efficiency while maintaining a strong personal connection with clients. Additionally, we are deeply committed to community engagement, ensuring our impact goes beyond financial outcomes.
What excites you the most about your industry?
The financial services industry is rapidly evolving, and it’s exciting to see how technology—particularly AI, automation, and analytics—is transforming how we serve clients. I’m passionate about the opportunity to drive innovation while helping clients achieve their financial aspirations.
What’s your biggest pet peeve?
Inefficiency. I find it frustrating when manual processes slow things down, especially when there are better technology solutions available. That’s why I’m passionate about streamlining operations through automation to improve productivity and focus on what matters most.
How do you like to spend your free time?
I enjoy spending time with my two kids, traveling, exploring new dining experiences, and making jewelry. These activities help me unwind, stay creative, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
