I have been in the financial industry for over 10 years. As a Wealth Advisor, my primary goal is to align your financial plan and investment strategy with your personal goals and objectives. We will be working together on periodic portfolio strategy reviews, financial planning, risk tolerance questionnaires, and any questions you may have along the way.
I have an MBA in Finance and a BA in Economics from Rutgers University and hold the AIF® designation. I hold the AIF® designation and plan to obtain the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation.
I made a shift from trading to wealth management because I enjoy building relationships and working one on one with clients to help them achieve their financial goals. The financial planning industry appeals to me because organization and planning are two of my greatest strengths.
Her human side…
My parents have had the greatest influence over my career path. They came to this country with very little and worked hard to achieve the American dream. They taught me the importance of working hard and planning for the future.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family watching the kids’ sporting events, playing board games, and enjoying the outdoors. Life with my husband, three kids, three cats, and two dogs is never boring.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “By failing to plan, you are planning to fail.” and when it comes to managing personal finances this could not be more true. My goal as a wealth advisor is to help my clients achieve their life goals while navigating any unexpected turns along the way.
I received a B.S. in Finance from the Feliciano School of Business at Montclair State University. After graduating, I obtained the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification and the AIF® professional designation.
His human side…
While pursuing my bachelor’s degree in finance, I met Judd Carlton, a wealth advisor who became a pivotal figure in my career. Through a mutual connection, I had the opportunity to intern at Judd’s firm early in my career.
I admired how Judd approached high-net-worth families and individuals with not just technical knowledge, but with a deep understanding of their life goals. He demonstrated that financial planning isn’t just about numbers—it’s about crafting personalized strategies that align with our client’s aspirations, family dynamics, and legacies.
Judd’s mentorship inspired me to pursue advanced training and certifications such as the CFP® and the AIF® to refine my technical expertise and stay ahead of the curve. These credentials have empowered me to implement sophisticated strategies that generate significant value for my clients.
Judd also instilled in me the importance of listening—not just to what clients say, but to what they may not say. Clients often have very specific concerns—whether refining their investment portfolio, optimizing their tax strategy, or planning for intergenerational wealth transfers. It’s not about offering a cookie-cutter solution; it’s about tailoring a strategy that accurately reflects our client’s values and goals.
One key moment in my journey stands out. I worked with a client who was urgently seeking ways to reduce their tax burden. After taking the time to truly listen and understand their broader objectives, I collaborated with their accountant to develop a retirement plan that not only reduced their tax liability but also increased their long-term savings potential. That experience reinforced how critical it is to listen closely and take a collaborative approach.
By blending expertise with empathy, I empower my clients to make decisions that support their financial security and their life’s aspirations, ensuring that their wealth works for them both today and in the future.

As a member of the client service team at Glassner Carlton, I support the firm’s mission of serving clients while upholding our values of hard work, honesty, and perseverance. My role entails providing operational support for the firm’s day-to-day client service activities such as opening new client accounts and preparing paperwork for clients and preparing financial statements for the financial advisor to use in meetings with clients.
I graduated from St. Peter’s College with a Bachelor of Science in Economics.
Her human side…
My father was my greatest inspiration in my career. He worked for PSE&G his entire career and he worked his way up to Chief Lineman. He took on an extra job on the weekends to put me through a private Catholic High School and Jesuit College.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my dog, reading, and working on my vintage dollhouse. My favorite thing to do is to visit Hawaii – I go once a year.

Stories
Time and time again, we hear from our clients that it is the high attention paid to even the smallest of decisions that has made the difference for them.
Here are some examples of ways that we have helped our clients as their financial planner.
A financial planning client came to us with an investment that sounded too good to be true. It was recommended by a trusted service provider of theirs. Through our careful inspection we sensed something wasn’t right. It turned out to be a fraud.
We were troubled by seeing a client’s lawyer trying to line himself up to receive the family’s inheritance. Over a period of years we urged our client to meet a new attorney. We even insisted on being in the meeting with the client and attorney in person to be sure it was being executed correctly. The new attorney was originally defensive, but eventually thanked me for protecting the client.
A client was facing a large estate tax bill of about $1 million. We helped them create and implement a strategy that reduced the tax by sizable proportions. It took over a year of planning and attending meetings with multiple generations of the family and the legal team.
A client forgot to take their required minimum distribution at an outside institution. By reminding them that they need to take their distribution we saved them the 50% penalty they would have been charged.
We received an email requesting a federal funds wire request from a client’s account for $25,000 to be sent to a bank account that we did not recognize. We called the client to confirm his request and found that he did not send the email. As a result, we contacted our tech support team and they were able to determine that the client’s email was hacked.
