Allow Me to Introduce Myself
I work with individuals and families who are looking for more than just financial advice — they’re seeking clarity, confidence, and a sense of direction for their life and money. My approach is highly collaborative and values-based. I take the time to truly understand what matters most to you and then help you align your financial decisions with those values. With years of experience in the financial planning world, I’ve learned that the numbers only make sense when they support a life that feels meaningful. My journey into financial planning wasn’t a straight line — it was a response to a deeper calling. I saw firsthand how confusing and overwhelming money can feel, even for smart, successful people. That realization led me to start Magnificent Life Financial Planning, a firm built around simplicity, honesty, and human connection. I work independently, without product sales or commissions, so every piece of advice I give is entirely in service to your goals, not anyone else’s agenda. Outside of work, I’m a big believer in living the kind of life I help my clients design. I’m curious by nature, love meaningful conversations, and find joy in the simple things, whether it’s a quiet morning coffee or time spent outdoors. People often say I bring a calm, grounding energy to their financial lives, and I take that as the highest compliment.
