“I’m passionate about finance and the great outdoors. Living in Alaska and spending months in the Denali Mountain range and Delta Junction, I developed a deep appreciation for those living on the frontier and having to solve complex problems with few resources. I also spent a lot of time playing hockey and skiing, balancing my love for adventure with my professional pursuits. I started my career in financial planning and analysis, working in both public and private sectors. My roles have included developing financial models and optimizing budget strategies, always with a focus on risk management and compliance. I moved to the DC area for school and professional development, but unexpectedly also met my fiancé. We now enjoy spending time in DC, trying new restaurants, going to hockey games, playing golf, exploring our local parks, and are excited to plan for the future.”
