AIF®, CFP®, CRPC®
Managing Partner, Fundamental Choice Portfolio Manager
Pathlight Advisors

As the Managing Partner at Pathlight Advisors, I empower individuals and families to navigate their financial journeys with confidence. Holding the CFP®, CRPC®, and AIF® designations, I have been immersed in finance and banking in Scottsdale, AZ, since 2001. I’m honored to serve on the Retirement Advisors Council and proud to be recognized as one of Forbes' 2025 Top Women Wealth Advisors.

Before my career in Arizona, I worked on two presidential campaigns and several congressional races in Washington, D.C., bringing a deep understanding of leadership and strategy to my financial practice. Passionate about supporting working mothers, I host a podcast exploring the intersection of career and family, and my insights have been featured in major publications.

I was privileged to serve as the first chairwoman of the ARA Council for Women and contribute to the NAPA Governmental Affairs Committee, advocating for meaningful industry change. In addition, I sit on the board of the Care Fund, championing families in need. Most importantly, I’m a proud mom of two sons.
