My Journey

As a double major in Economics and Mathematics at UC Santa Cruz, I've developed a unique perspective on financial planning that combines rigorous quantitative analysis with deep economic understanding. My academic journey has equipped me with the analytical tools necessary to navigate complex financial landscapes and provide strategic guidance.

My passion lies in estate planning law, where I can merge my mathematical precision with my desire to help families secure their financial futures. I believe that effective estate planning requires both technical expertise and genuine care for clients' long-term wellbeing. Through my studies and practical experience, I've learned that the most impactful financial strategies are those that balance analytical rigor with human understanding.

Beyond academics, I've gained valuable experience in customer service and financial education roles, from hosting at Fortune Cookie to serving as a Financial Peer Mentor with the SlugCent Financial Wellness Program. These experiences have taught me the importance of clear communication and building trust—skills that are essential for any successful estate planning attorney.
