Angela’s passion for finance began early in life.  At seven years old, Angela opened her first checking account with money earned from A’s on her report card and was fascinated with the power of compound interest.  She saw first-hand how her money grew over time and the pride she felt purchasing her own basketball for eleven dollars.     

Angela has a natural curiosity about the financial industry as it is always changing.  It helps her provide creative solutions for her clients who in turn can make more informed choices regarding their financial future.  “My advice can make a difference in people’s livelihoods and lifestyles,” says Angela. Listening to and working with her clients on their long-term financial plans is what drives Angela every single day.  It gives her great satisfaction when her clients are able to purchase their dream home, send their kids to college, or even retire sooner than expected.
