Tax Senior

How would it feel be financially well? To understand enough about taxes and finances that you feel in control of your finances, know the questions to ask, and can make informed decisions that work for you and your goals?

I am here to help you achieve that!

My approach to taxes is to take time to listen to you, ask you questions and help you understand how things work in a way that makes money feel manageable. Whether you are an individual, a small business owner, or the education/employee engagement manager for an organization, I can help you learn what you need to know so you and your team can ask good questions and make decisions that fit your priorities and move you towards meeting and maintaining your goals.
 
My background comes from working at E&Y and PwC and having exposure to big firm accounting and to different ways of working with both individuals and organizations.  Through my experiences, I saw first-hand the value that individualized, judgment-free support provides.
 
I combine this background and my focus to provide realistic, simple advice since the day I started my practice in 2003. I take on a limited client load so I can provide support throughout the year to answer questions and help my clients become comfortable with and confident about taxes and money.
 
In fact, many clients hire me to support them on a consulting basis and refer to me as their “advisor on speed dial.”
 
One of my favorite ways to provide value is to help organizations empower their employees by providing financial wellness benefits.  This includes providing interactive workshops woven with real life scenarios and fun, I help teams understand that money can be a source of power in addition to sometimes being a source of stress.  And since learning about money is a great equalizer, my programs benefit both the employees and the company!

Lawyer Money Coach

Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP

Associate

I’m a former Biglaw associate who knows what it’s like to make a lot of money and still feel broke.

I also know what it’s like to want to make a change in your life and feel constrained by your financial situation.

My mission is to help you master your money so you can create freedom and choice in your life.

Time is our most limited resource. Money is a tool you can use to literally buy back your time.

I can show you how.

*MY STORY*

At the end of 2016, I was preparing to head back to work after having my first child and couldn't imagine going back to the Biglaw schedule I had been keeping up as a junior associate.

My firm offered a reduced hours policy—an option for associates to bill a percentage of the annual required hours for the same percentage of their salary—and I was considering taking advantage of it.

The problem was, when my husband and I looked at our finances, we were over $670,000 in debt with a negative $342,000 net worth. Almost $500,000 of it was student loans.

Add on the interest my husband’s loans accrued while he was in residency and the loan we took out to upgrade from a coupe to an SUV when our second child was born, and our total debt was around $725,000.

We couldn't afford to make the changes I was envisioning. We needed the money, but I realized my work schedule wouldn't allow me to be as present as I wanted to be with my kids.

I consumed everything I could about personal finance and getting out of debt—books, blogs, podcasts, YouTube videos. We used that research to make a plan to turn our finances around and went to work executing it.

As of August 2021, we have paid off all of our student loans and built our net worth to over half a million dollars!

The work we did on our finances also allowed me to drop down to 50% at work during the pandemic (I got to take advantage of the reduced hours policy after all!) and ultimately leave the law to pursue my love of coaching lawyers on their money full-time.

The biggest thing I've learned is that money is a tool that we can use to buy back our time. We can design the lives we want to live when we use that tool correctly.

Time is the only resource we can't get back. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Now I teach lawyers just like you all the things we learned so they can improve their own finances and unlock the power that comes with having complete control of your money.
