Personal Introduction

Unfortunately, my undergraduate university, Pacific Lutheran University, does not automatically populate. I graduated in 1982. With nearly 15 years of experience in wealth management, I understand the importance of building genuine relationships with clients to best serve their estate planning needs. During my years in banking, I primarily served individuals with special needs trusts or elderly clients that required additional time and care not traditionally provided in the trust department. I collaborate with families to help them achieve their long-term goals of supporting future generations within a trust framework.

Personal Interests & Charitable Work

Most of my spare time is devoted as a lay leader with the Jewish Federation of Broward County. I recently completed a 7-year term as a board member of the Federation. I served in a number of significant roles, including as co-chair of the Strategic Impact Teams (oversight of allocations committees) and chair of the Jewish Women’s Foundation. I also recently completed a term as the chair for the Jewish Community Relations Council. I still serve on the Jewish Foundation Board. I am a co-founder of the Alcee Hastings Black-Jewish Alliance within the Broward Federation. The Alliance is a coalition committed to maintaining the historic bond between the African-American and Jewish communities. As a member of both communities, I feel uniquely qualified to serve as a liaison and I am passionate about this work. Beyond the Jewish community, I serve on the Area of Aging for Broward County Board to continue to provide my expertise on the concerns/issue of the elderly and disabled populations. On a personal note, I am an avid reader, traveler and Formula 1 fan. I am married and the mother of one son, Maximilian.
