As we navigate another month of market fluctuations, I wanted to reach out personally. With all this volatility in the market lately, I’m here if you have questions about your accounts, want to better understand what is happening—or just want to talk. Remember, market uncertainty is normal, but you don’t have to face it alone, email me if you’d like to set some time. I’m here for you!

My Spring Break Vacation Read:

We Begin at the End 
Oh, you’ve got to check out “We Begin at the End” by Chris Whitaker! It’s a story about a fierce 13-year-old girl called Duchess and the local police chief who is following a newly released prisoner. I couldn’t put it down – the characters just get under your skin and stay with you.

Which is good because first I started with All Fours by Miranda July – and HAD to put it down. Have any of you read it?? Should I pick it back up?

My Guilty Netflix Binge:

The Perfect Couple: The six-episode series offers the usual suspects: old money pretending they earned it, strategic marriages that scream “merger acquisition,” and secrets all over the place! It’s like observing a masterclass in damage control you’ll hopefully never need to use.
