What drew you to wealth management?

Initially, I thought my career track would be in education, but by chance I enrolled in a basic personal finance course during college and found myself immediately immersed in the subject. For over a year I was torn between callings until one day my professor spoke directly to my conflicted heart as he described the clear parallels between financial advisors and teachers. Ultimately, it excites me to help people, and I’m fortunate to do that in a way that allows my analytical and restorative qualities to shine through.

What do you enjoy most about Adero?

Adero has amassed a team of advisors with diverse strengths and backgrounds, all unified under the common goal of providing the best possible solutions to our clients. That drive to find the best solution is embedded in our culture, and does not bend to pride, seniority, or other variables that can cloud judgment. I’m proud to work for a company that will never respond to my inquiries with “because we’ve always done it that way.”

What do you feel is the biggest value Adero brings to its clients?

A financial advisor helps people navigate and develop a balance between their goals and their money, but there are often several ways to go about this. At Adero we take the time to understand our clients on a deeper level at the start of the relationship, learning about their goals, relationships, values, interests, other advisors, and financial accounts. Knowing our clients on this level allows us to curate the most appropriate, personalized financial solution.

How should people think about their wealth?

Wealth is the freedom to live your life on your own terms.

What personal accomplishments are you most proud of?

After growing up, attending college, and starting my career all within an hour drive of where I was born, in the summer of 2015 I made the decision to start anew in the Bay Area.

What do you love to do outside of work?

I love spending time with my dog. Whether it’s a road trip, a day at the beach, jogging, or reading dystopian science fiction novels, she’s always by my side.
