Chief Executive Officer, Partner, Advisor

I am passionate about helping clients simplify their finances and get their entire financial house in order. I strongly believe that everyone deserves a financial plan and the ability to know how their personal wealth translates into creating the life of their dreams.  

Experience & Qualifications

Prior to co-founding Quantum, I was a Partner at Abacus Wealth Partners. In addition to my primary role as my clients’ Financial Advisor, I also led the Mergers & Acquisitions and Women & Money initiatives. Before Abacus, I was head of product development for a financial services start-up that grew into a multi-billion dollar public company. Previously, I was a management consultant for The Boston Consulting Group, where I advised senior executives of Fortune 500 companies. I began my career as a Corporate Auditor for The General Electric Company.

Education

I earned an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA in Economics and French from the University of Michigan. I hold a Certificate in Financial Planning from UCLA, and am a Certified Financial Planner™, and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst.

Outside of work

I enjoy spending time with my husband, our three sons and our yellow lab, Kaden. In my free time, I prefer being active – skiing, biking, running, doing triathlons or taking in adventures with my family. I also love to learn, so am often diving into new books or trying out new card games with my sons.
