About Me
I was born in Derby CT and grew up between Texas and upstate New York. Moving at a young age taught me how to adapt, stay grounded, and build real relationships.
I began my career as an electrical engineer, earning my degree from Clarkson University and working with organizations such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Intelligence & Space, and BAE Systems. Engineering trained me to think clearly, solve complex problems, and communicate with precision.
My path into a career in financial services began in a deeply personal way. In 2022, my father passed away unexpectedly while I was preparing for my wedding. Helping my mother navigate her finances and long-term planning opened my eyes to just how overwhelming money can feel during life’s most emotional moments. Around that time, a local CFP® professional guided our family with clarity and empathy. His honesty, especially in advising against becoming a client at that moment, even though it would have benefited him, made a lasting impression.
Motivated by that, I transitioned from engineering to financial services. Today, I’m proud to be part of Paragon Financial Group, working alongside Rob Tarlov to help families, retirees, and business owners build clarity and confidence in their financial lives.
