"It didn’t take me long to realize that personal finance is something that is best approached from a proactive stance. I started my career as a financial advisor in 2009 and have not looked back since. My drive stems from my passion for helping clients dissect their goals and lay down a track that is free from unrealistic expectations yet layered in attainable goals that help take them from their starting point to beyond retirement. Now, I am the proud founder and owner of my company, Maven Lane Financial Group.
From there I set out to pursue my financial education, while keeping in mind that there was a narrative that needed to be flipped so people could avoid the typical mistakes and achieve financial peace.
My interest in financial planning has not waned over the years, and I continued down a constant road to education, later earning my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification and a Master’s degree in Personal Financial Planning. I have clients in all stages of life and industries and have many multi-generational families that I am fortunate to work with."
