About me
Why I do this...
If you asked why this work matters to me, the answer is personal.
By the time I was 33, both of my parents had passed away. Neither had life insurance or an estate plan. As the oldest child, I was left to make difficult decisions while navigating the grief of losing them both.
That experience showed me firsthand what can happen when planning is put off. It ultimately led me into this profession with one goal: helping families avoid the uncertainty my family faced.
Today, I help young families, business owners, and individuals navigating life’s biggest milestones create financial strategies that protect the people they love and build confidence for the future.
Before becoming a financial professional, I spent 16 years building and leading teams in corporate retail. Those experiences taught me the value of trust, transparency, and having honest conversations—principles that still guide every client relationship today.
If you’ve been putting planning off because you’re not sure where to start, you’re not alone. The first conversation is often the hardest step, but it’s also the most important.
Let’s start there.

Award-winning whole life coverage
New York Life was named “Best Whole Life Insurance Company” by Money.com for our flexible permanent policy options, consistently strong- financial ratings, options to customize, and the potential to earn dividends1 through our mutual structure. Our policies offer lifetime coverage2, guaranteed premiums3, and growing cash value you can access.4 I'll walk you through what sets us apart—and how whole life insurance can fit into your financial goals.
1 Dividends, which provide an opportunity for cash value growth, are not guaranteed.
2Provided ongoing premiums are paid.
3 All guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuer.
4 You can access the cash value in your policy, generally tax free, via partial surrenders and policy loans. Policy loans and surrenders reduce the policy’s available cash surrender value and death benefit. Loans also accrue interest.
