Meet Our Team

Growing up in a family that valued hard work and savings, I learned the importance of financial security from an early age. My Mom, a savvy saver, took early retirement to care for her Dad (my Grandfather) in 2000. Although she had managed to save a considerable amount, she lacked the knowledge required to invest her money wisely and faced the daunting task of finding someone she could trust. As the story goes, everything was going well, until it wasn’t. After a couple years my Mom would open her statements and the values would continue to decline. She was not receiving any proper guidance and asked for my help.

Determined to help my Mom, I began educating myself about the financial industry. I undertook extensive research and self-study on the economy and investments. My journey into the financial world officially began in February 2008, where I initially supported 3 seasoned financial advisors. Driven by a passion to provide first class service to clients, I went on to obtain my federal and state license and in 2013 I left my assistant position and entered a partnership with Marla Harvey, whom I had a solid working relationship throughout my financial career. We enjoyed a wonderful working relationship together until her retirement in 2022. Currently, I lead a resourceful and dedicated team, including our operations genius, Dominique Olivari and our masterful projects facilitator, Jacqueline Harrison. In 2024, Forbes recognized us as Top Women Wealth Advisors, Best-in-State. I share this accolade with Dominique and Jackie, as it is a true reflection of the collective efforts, hard work, and innovative spirit of our team.

I believe in crafting not just custom investment plans, but comprehensive life plans that provide reassurance regardless of economic fluctuations. Your wealth does not need to be scary, overwhelming, or complicated. My mission is to make the financial journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible for my clients, ensuring they never outlive their money. Together, we plan to establish lasting legacies, allowing individuals to pass on their wealth to heirs or meaningful charitable causes.

I earned my degree from UCSD and cultivated a passion for lifelong learning and went on to complete the Certified Financial Planner ® program at San Diego State. Committed to continued growth, I am currently a part of the Platinum Partnership with Robbins Research, which provides me with exclusive access to a network of top-tier professionals and cutting-edge strategies. Away from the office, I cherish simple pleasures and family life. Married for 27 years, I am a proud parent of two children, Alexia, a junior at UCSC and Jesse, a high school senior. My hobbies reflect my appreciation for simplicity and nature; I enjoy running outdoors, having completed the Boston Marathon in 2019 was a definite bucket list item. When not outdoors, you can find me curled up with a warm cup of tea and a good book.

My values are deeply rooted in my faith, family, and the quest for excellence. Inspired by the hospitality industry, I strive to offer a five-star experience to my clients. My objective is to ensure that every interaction my clients have with my team embodies trust, excellence, and personalized care.

Dominique Olivari, our operations expert, began her career at Wells Fargo in 2007 as a Business Relations Banker, serving various branch locations in northern California. A few years later she relocated to San Diego from Santa Cruz to be closer to loved ones, and in 2022 we were fortunate to have her join our team as a Senior Client Associate. Since then, Dominique has played an invaluable role in managing all aspects of our operations, including client paperwork, customized requests, and ensuring a seamless experience for both clients and the team. Her resourcefulness and commitment to extending first class service means that she not only gets the job done, but does so with a positive spirit. Her sincere desire to make a meaningful impact is evident in every task she undertakes, and it shines through in all areas of her life!
