June 2025

What are your primary responsibilities at NOFG?
I analyze client situations and develop strategies that turn complex financial details into clear, actionable plans.

What do you enjoy most about your role/work?
Blending technical and relational skills is meaningful work. I majored in Financial Planning in college, but what really drew me in was the psychology behind financial decision-making. Behavioral finance gave me a way to connect my interest in human behavior with practical financial strategies. I found it fascinating how biases, emotions, and cognitive shortcuts influence choices about saving, investing, and spending. It showed me that financial planning isn’t just about numbers but also about understanding people, their motivations, and the barriers that can prevent them from reaching their goals. That connection between psychology and finance is what sparked my passion for the field and guides how I think about financial planning today.

What do clients seem to appreciate most about you?
I am genuine, caring and knowledgeable.
