I am passionate and enthusiastic about empowering women with relationships and money . Educating, guiding, and building relationships gives me the joy that inspires the work I do. Giving back and helping others move forward is an essential part of who I am.

I am disappointed and discouraged when I hear of men or women who have made bad financial choices simply because of lack of knowledge. I’ve discovered that too many women handle money management only as an afterthought. It gives new meaning to the old phrase, “a day late and a dollar short”.

My favorite thing about my career is when I get to meet with clients, one-to-one, and get an understanding of their financial needs, both for the present and future. The process I use helps you identify your objectives, personalize your goals and manage and preserve your wealth so the next generation can enjoy it too.

I’ve helped people solve complex and sometimes overwhelming financial challenges. I realize financial management frightens some people. My firm removes the fright and allows you to enjoy your life and know the wealth will remain with you.

Athena Financial Group offers personalized advice specific to your financial future. I take personal pride in managing and organizing the investments so you do not have to worry about the wealth placed in our care. You get the time to pursue the things in life you love most - from hobbies to vacations to time with the family.
