As an client relationship manager, I specialize in asset management and financial planning for clients.

I value honesty and transparency. Our business is built on the understanding of our clients’ needs and objectives first and foremost. Trust is earned not granted and I strive to strengthen all relationships by doing the right thing. Continuing education throughout my career has been a professional accomplishment enabling me to reach my career aspirations.

As an avid golfer, I am looking forward to getting out on the course to try out my new driver. I also love being with my family out on our boat exploring the Salish Sea or skiing up at Mount Washington. I am the proud mother to three amazing individuals and fortunate to have the love and support of my partner.
