My Mission Statement
MY STORY AND SERVICES
Having grown up in the finance industry, I have seen the world of financial advice evolve through many economic cycles, and shifts in technology, and theory. After graduating summa cum laude from UC Santa Barbara with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and minor in Business Communications, I returned to Silicon Valley to join the Daniels Group and help clients build a secure financial future.
We focus on long-term tax-efficient investing and emphasize diversification. We are holistic Financial Advisors, so whether you are interested in retirement planning, college funding, estate planning, insurance, gifts to charity, or selling stock in an employee compensation plan we have the resources to cover your financial needs. With Morgan Stanley's access to some of the world's most seasoned and respected investment professionals, a premier trading platform and spectrum of investment choices, together, we can create and monitor a dynamic plan that will evolve and adjust at each stage of your life.
Community Service
I live in San Francisco and am passionate about supporting the city that I call home. I participate in quarterly park and beach cleanups, volunteer at the local food bank, and donate blood to UCSF every six weeks.

Our Team – Client Conversations, Perspective and Advice
We are financial advisors. We provide tax efficient investment management, perspective on the markets, and advice on life's many financial decisions. Our team's nine financial advisors, including two International Client Advisors, manage over 5.24 billion dollars of our clients' assets* and have a tenure of 4 to 42 years with Morgan Stanley. We build long, collaborative advisory relationships with our clients and their families. We have served as the financial advisor and managed assets for some of our client families for over 40 years.
Providing advice and effective client communication goes beyond periodic portfolio reviews. Here are issues that we discuss with clients, and we can discuss with you.
- COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL PLANNING - Discuss goals, develop a financial plan, monitor progress, and adjust. Are their blind spots in your plan?
- CHANGES AND TRANSITION - What changed? What keeps you up at night?
- INVESTMENTS - Are your investments aligned with your objectives? Discuss tax efficient goals-based portfolio management and asset allocation.
- EQUITY COMPENSATION - What do you want to fund or accomplish with your shares? Set goals and timelines. Sell or accumulate shares?
- 10b5-1 PLANS - Design and implement a goals-based 10b5-1 plan to sell RSUs and stock options over time.
- NEST EGG - Have you saved enough? How much do you need? Will you be able to financially retire with confidence?
- RETIREMENT - When, where, for what reason, part time or full time? What do you want to achieve in this next chapter?
- COLLEGE SAVINGS - Use a 529 plan, tax free bonds or keep the assets in a separate account in your name?
- MORTGAGE - Keep or reduce your mortgage?
- SECOND HOME - What is the goal and cost? Where and what size? For your personal use and/or rental income?
- LIFE INSURANCE - If you pass away, does your spouse have enough life insurance to pay off your mortgage and cover your children's college education?
- LIABILITY INSURANCE - Do you have enough coverage for risk such as owning rental property or having dependent children who drive?
- CHILDREN AND GIFTING - Give assets to your children now or later? How much do you give? Are your gifts enabling or disabling your children?
- PHILANTHROPY - Give now or later? Give cash or appreciated stock? Discuss goals-based giving and a Donor Advised Fund (DAF).
- ESTATE PLANNING STRATEGIES - Discuss the value of estate planning, a revocable living trust and the related documents.
We can help you develop a financial plan that outlines a roadmap and destination and provides a framework to track your progress. Let's discuss your plans and goals.
