Born and raised in Staten Island, New York, I’ve always valued the strength of community and the importance of long-term relationships—both of which have shaped my approach to financial planning. I earned my bachelor's degree in Economics from Binghamton University in 2022, and since then, I’ve committed myself to helping individuals and families navigate the complex world of personal finance.

I began my career in the financial services industry in August 2022 and became a registered Investment Adviser Representative (IAR) after earning my Series 7 and 66 licenses in 2023. From the start, I’ve prioritized a holistic, client-first approach, recognizing that financial success is about more than numbers—it's about aligning your financial strategy with your life goals, values, and peace of mind.

Outside of the office, I’m passionate about health and fitness, and you’ll often find me at the gym, enjoying quality time with my family, or raising my dog, Sonny, who’s become a beloved part of my journey.
