I enjoy building long-lasting relationships while helping peers and clients. I was born and raised in Oakland, and excited to be starting my career close to home in the Bay Area. I joined Mercer Advisors in the early summer of 2023, after graduating from the University of Oregon with a concentration in finance and a minor in environmental sciences. I am committed to supporting his community in the East Bay, along with its environment. In my free time, I enjoy any activity under the sun. Favorites are climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and skiing.

What is a social cause you feel passionately about, and why is it meaningful to you? I have a genuine appreciation for the importance of wildlife reserves. I believe these reserves play a vital role in preserving our natural environment and supporting biodiversity. It's essential to keep these areas open and accessible so that animals, endangered or not, have the space and resources to thrive and survive. Another key positive part of expanding and protecting these areas are so people can connect with nature and learn about the significance of conservation and their surrounding natural habitat. I hope to continue to help the upkeep and promotion of these reserves, ensuring they remain protected spaces for wildlife and future generations to enjoy and learn from.

Do you have any pets? I grew up with cats my whole life but in my current household, we have one dog. Her name is Bean and she is a puggle (pug + beagle!)
