I spent two decades in public education as a teacher, principal, and administrator at Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). My driving force is a belief in education as a tool for empowerment. This was evident in my proudest achievement: transforming one of LAUSD’s 10 lowest-performing schools. Now, I bring that same dedication to my work as a financial planner. My personal path to financial independence, including navigating the complexities of CalSTRS and MPIHP pensions, has given me a unique perspective and deep understanding of these systems. In our late 40s, my husband and I left our traditional careers for a new adventure in Mammoth Lakes. I now dedicate my encore career to helping others achieve the same freedom, empowerment, and security to live their dreams.
