Doing Our Best For You!

As a John Hancock Financial Network professional and active member of my community, I am dedicated to helping individuals and businesses build their financial futures.  

To stay on top of my field and develop my professional skills, I’ve regularly attended industry training and certification programs. This includes completing the curriculum and passing the rigorous exams.

My academic achievements include:

Master's Degree from
Boston University


My education, experience and professional affiliations have fostered my practical approach to offering financial services and advice to my clients. Rather than just recommending a hodgepodge of unrelated products, first I’ll consider your specific financial goals and investment objectives. Working together, we’ll formulate a strategy to help you achieve your goals. Then I’ll recommend the appropriate products and services to help you execute your strategy.

Maintaining  a strong sense of community and a solid professional foundation
are very important to me.
