WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT BEING A PART OF THE WMS PARTNERS TEAM?
I enjoy being a part of a team who always has clients’ best interests in mind, and who are dedicated and focused on exceeding clients’ expectations. It is also a pleasure working alongside people who are experts in their respective areas, such as various aspects of financial planning, investments, and portfolio management. To me, all of these traits are key to the work we do and part of what makes WMS Partners so unique.
WHAT IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE?
I spent time both during and after college living in Florence, Italy. I studied art history and culture and I learned to speak Italian while I was there. I loved living in such a beautiful and historical city, visiting the museums and surrounding countryside, and eating all the great local food – especially gelato!
HOW DO YOU WANT YOUR CLIENTS TO VIEW THEIR WEALTH?
I want our clients to view their wealth as an opportunity, and never as a source of stress or worry. I hope we are helping them achieve unique opportunities, such as making significant charitable donations or providing education to their families for generations, while helping them navigate through any complexities so they are able to enjoy their wealth and life to the fullest.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE TO DO OUTSIDE OF WORK?
I love spending time with my family, including my two young children and extended family. I also enjoy spending time outside, such as hiking with my dog, Leo, and visiting local beaches and the Blue Ridge Mountains.
