About
I’m a CFP® professional with experience as a financial advisor and in supporting advisors across multiple branches. I help students prepare for securities licensing exams by breaking complex topics into plain language and focusing on how to apply them to exam questions. Whether you’re working through investment products, suitability, or registration rules, we’ll identify where you’re getting stuck, build a focused study plan, and practice until you can explain the concepts with confidence. My goal is to make our sessions practical, encouraging, and tailored to the way you learn.

Why do I coach?
I coach because I know how frustrating it can be to study for an exam and still feel unsure when you face a practice question. Often, a different explanation or a chance to talk it through is what makes the concept click. I enjoy helping people reach that moment. Passing the exam matters, but I also want you to leave our sessions feeling more confident about the work you’re preparing to do.
