I was raised in Brooklyn, NY and have lived in Montclair for over 25 years.  I have 4 lovely daughters and enjoy spending time with my family.

I have worked in the financial field for more than 20 years. I am a CPA, although my license is currently retired or “inactive”. I began my career in public accounting with KPMG, Peat Marwick in New York City. I continued to work in different corporate fields and also spent five years as a tax professional for small businesses and individuals. I  became an investment advisor in 2004 and started with a small wealth planning firm specializing in estate planning. Eventually I moved on to both Merrill Lynch and JP Morgan/Chase, and now presently and permanently with Ameriprise Financial.

 I am an avid runner and try to include it in my daily activities.  I completed the New York City Marathons in years 2000 and 2003. Additionally, I also enjoy white-water rafting, skiing and playing tennis
