How I Arrived at Ritholtz

“Coming from a much bigger firm, I knew I wanted a smaller team that felt more connected and aligned towards a higher goal. A goal centered around the client and giving them the best support possible. It was clear to me that RWM valued the same things I did, and treated their employees and their clients like family.”

Favorite Part Of The Job

“I love getting to know people and learning how best to assist them! I look forward to supporting our clients and embodying what Ritholtz does best, supporting each individuals financial needs!”

When I'm Not Working

“I am an avid runner and reader, I love F. Scott Fitzgerald! You can usually find me on the lakeshore path or trying a new restaurant or patio bar.”
