After years of personal challenges, I found my “why” in helping others live lives of confidence. Knowing the power our finances carry over our lives, I chose this industry as the outlet for my purpose. I’ve seen firsthand how uncertainty and stress can quietly shape the way people think, decide, and show up in their lives, and I wanted a career that helped reduce that burden rather than add to it.

My path into retirement planning took shape at Fidelity Investments, where I served as a Managing Director and worked with hundreds of small businesses and nonprofit organizations across the country. That experience gave me a deep understanding of the small business landscape, but more importantly, it showed me how differently small business owners and their employees experience financial decisions—and how much thoughtful, human guidance can matter.

I’ve come to believe there are few things more complex than the human psyche—or the challenge of building and sustaining a small business. What I enjoy most about my work today is that it allows me to engage deeply with both.

On one side, I work directly with plan participants—listening, coaching, and helping them build real financial confidence through conversations they can’t get from a podcast or YouTube video. On the other, I partner closely with business owners to identify and solve complex, often unseen challenges within their businesses. That mix of empathy and problem-solving keeps me grounded, while also satisfying my curiosity and love of understanding complex problems.

I joined Compass Financial Group in 2023 to continue that work alongside my father and help lead the firm’s Employer Retirement Plan arm of the practice. Today, I focus on supporting small businesses and nonprofit organizations across the country with thoughtful, high-touch retirement plan consulting designed to serve both employers and their people well.
