The Why
Financial Independence is Freedom.
I spent years in global corporate leadership as an engineer and corporate planner, but my most meaningful financial lessons came during and after my own divorce and career transition.
I founded SpendItRight to be the financial advisor I wish I had - one who combines analytical rigor with the lived experience of starting over.
As an hourly, fee-only advisor, I have removed the typical barriers to financial help. As a CDFA®, I bring financial modeling to divorce settlements.
My approach is intentionally flexible and accessible. You decide what you need help with, and together we build a clear, tailored plan - so you remain in control of your financial decisions and your next chapter.
Who I Navigate With
You don’t need a certain net worth to deserve expert advice. You just need a desire for clarity.
The Breadwinner Woman - The Engineers
You’re the primary or sole earner, carrying high-stakes responsibility at work and at home. You don’t want to hand off control - you want a trusted second set of eyes.
I provide analytical rigor to stress-test your strategy, evaluate trade-offs, and identify blind spots - so you can lead with composure, not uncertainty.
Forward -Thinking Moms
You want to support your children without sacrificing your own financial independence.
I help you navigate the funding gap - balancing college planning with retirement and long-term security - so you can take care of your family today and yourself tomorrow.
Women Facing Divorce - The Navigators
You’re making financial decisions that will shape your long-term security - and your children’s.
I provide calm, objective analysis to help you understand the financial impact of divorce settlement decisions - so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
The Focus: Marital Assets division, retirement plan analysis, cash-flow modeling, and long-term planning decisions related to children.
