I am a Certified Financial Planner® and Wealth Advisor, passionate about helping clients move forward with purpose, clarity, and confidence Born and raised in Germany, I initially pursued a different path—earning a Ph.D. in Linguistics and devoting years to teaching and research—before personal and professional challenges in the U.S. inspired me to follow my earlier passion for the financial services industry. Those experiences of navigating financial constraints and rebuilding after a difficult divorce have shaped my core belief: financial independence is the foundation of personal freedom, especially for women. That belief fuels my mission: to empower clients through education, resilience, and strategic planning. My approach to financial advising is deeply personal and holistic. I don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, I focus on truly understanding your story, values, and vision for the future. Whether you’re facing a career transition, retirement, business sale, divorce, or life milestone, I develop proactive, tax-savvy investment strategies tailored to your evolving needs. Beyond my role as an advisor, I’m also an author, speaker, and thought leader in women’s financial empowerment. Through books, professional networks, and education initiatives, I help people move from uncertainty to action—and from surviving to thriving. Prior to joining RFG Advisory, I worked with Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and Cambridge Investment Research. Today, I’m excited to be part of RFG Advisory, where innovation and client-centered planning come together. With expanded resources and an innovative, client-first approach, I am passionate about guiding individuals, families, and business owners through every phase of their financial journey.
