Community participation

I am a member of the Junior League of Reno. Our work empowers woman and improves the lives of children in our community. Many of our projects and grants support non-profits such as Safe Embrace, the Eddy House, Girls on the Run, Dress for Success, Karma Box, Kids in the Kitchen, Lexie’s Gift, Volunteers of American and many more.

Interests

I enjoy traveling, caring for my two daughters and long walks with our dog Benny. In my spare time, I'm often in Lake Tahoe hiking, skiing, paddle-boarding, mountain biking and playing tennis. I love to cook, read a great book and do yoga daily. I was fortunate to have lived in Sweden for 20 years and I love everything Scandinavian.

Women and Wealth Retreats

In my wealth advisory practice, I help empower woman to embrace their finances. I arrange retreats focused on self-care and money, often as a weekend getaway where we enjoy cooking, fire-side chats, yoga and outdoor activities all while expanding our knowledge of financial planning tools.
