Compassion is my passion.

Here's my timeline to provide some framework to our conversations.
- 1972 - arrived in the world as the youngest of 4 children.
- 1976 - my mom passed away in April from breast cancer and my father remarried in November - thank God!
- 1978 - adorable twin sisters were born so we were quickly a family of 8.
- 1979 - 1990 - grew up in Hingham MA. Comfortable life with some normal crazy stuff that will come up in my conversations.

- 2000 - 2003 - had an amazing opportunity to support one family who had a very complex financial life - did great stuff like fly around the world on a private plane, witnessed an open brain surgery, managed a working avocado ranch & participated in lots of conversations about money and everything.
- 2001 - bought our home in Dover MA with no kids but a great school system.
- 2003 - stopped working when expecting fist baby, created and introduced a beautiful daughter, applied to be on Season II of the Apprentice (for realz) and when The Donald didn't pick me, I knew I needed to get myself back to work pronto!

- 2016 - business grew to 16 awesome families and was trusted with over $2B worth of assets (amazing) yet I woke up and said that I will no longer put myself into situations that deplete me, took stock and had super difficult conversations with clients about our value and fees going forward. Took an amazing trip to Ecuador with Pachamama Alliance for 12 days. Actively pursued whatever felt right.
- 2017 - created space to figure out how to have a HUGE impact in the world. Getting clear on who I am, what I want and where I want to go.
