About Me
Born and raised in the Hudson Valley, I have always cherished the charm of small-town life, from enjoying local fairs at St. Mary's School in Wappingers Falls to staying active in sports and academics at Our Lady of Lourdes High School. My passion for education began early on, as I knew in the 5th grade that I wanted to be an educator. Social studies has always been a subject close to my heart, fueling my desire to inspire others.
After graduating from Allegheny College in 2019, I began my career in education, starting as the manager of the historic Constitution Island. This role allowed me to share our nation’s rich history, which I later expanded upon as an 8th Grade Social Studies teacher. It was during my time teaching economics that I discovered my passion for educating others in ways that can have a direct impact on their lives.
Now, as a Financial Representative for Northwestern Mutual, I continue this journey of education by helping individuals and families understand and navigate the world of finance. I’m dedicated to empowering my clients to make informed financial decisions that will allow them to craft their life, their way.
Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.
How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
