Living with Purpose.
My Personal Journey to Making a Difference.

How did I get here?
I’ve always followed my heart. From my studies at UBC, accepting a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity abroad, marrying a boy I had a long distance relationship with, to rebuilding a successful career and life after my 12-year marriage fell apart.
I’ve been there.
I needed someone who cared enough to really understand what was important to me, and knowledgeable enough to paint out the available financial options that would greatly impact the people I love. More than that, I needed them to be there, to walk the journey with me. I couldn’t find one, so I decided to become that someone.
Integrity . Respect . Relationship
I’m living Plan B.
I became a Certified Financial Planner after my divorce so that I could get on top of my own finances and to help others with theirs. Retirement income planning has been the anchor of my practice from the onset. Becoming a Chartered Financial Divorce Specialist was a natural fit. The pieces of my “Why” really came together when I started being part of the Collaborative Divorce community.
I think I was destined to get here.
My greatest wish is for no child to become collateral damage in their parents’ divorce. Kids should be allowed to be kids, and grow up to the best they were meant to be. They have a right to be loved by and be loving to both parents.
