I have been working in the financial services industry since 1995. Prior to taking on the role of Financial Planner, I was a Financial Advisor in the Brampton area. During the last 9 years, I have focused exclusively on financial planning and fostering strong client relationships.

I have completed the requirements for the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® designation conferred by the Financial Planning Standards Council.

I look forward to being with you every step of the way as we work together to achieve your personal financial goals.
