Meet the team

Founder, CFP®, MBA

My mission is to help professional families reach the point where they are making decisions based on their values, rather than money. There is so much joy in intentionally working towards goals that drive your family’s potential.

When my mother died in 2017, it was a turning point in my life. After 20 years on the same career path, I needed to step away and decide if I wanted to continue for another 20 years. I took a year off to evaluate what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

I realized I wasn't making the impact on the world that I had envisioned. I knew my unique skills, passion, and insights could be better used to directly impact the success of others, particularly through the lens of personal finance.

I launched this business to inspire, create, educate, manage, and mediate for 100 families seeking joy, guided by their values—not the almighty dollar—and to help them achieve financial freedom.

I love to cook and root for all Georgia teams. I earned an Industrial Engineering degree from Georgia Tech and an MBA from Georgia State.

Lead Advisor, CDFA®, MBA

I work with independent women and busy families going through life transitions such as divorce, major career changes or those contemplating early retirement.

Prior to working in financial services, I spent much of my career in finance roles in the tech industry. For this reason, many of my clients also have careers in Tech. I help clients better understand and leverage their benefits packages, establish college savings plans for their children and maximize their overall savings so they can see a clearer path to retirement.

I also specialize in working with women during and after divorce. I was divorced in 2013 so I understand the challenges they face first-hand. I partner closely with clients and other professionals during the divorce process to assess short-term and long-term financial impacts. I help clients feel more prepared for negotiations as well as plan for their new life.

I am a mom of two almost adults and a mutt named Rosie. Outside of career and mom duties, I enjoy playing tennis, practicing yoga, visiting local farmer’s markets, hiking in state and national parks, traveling abroad and any activity on or near the ocean.

My passion for investing and personal finance inspired me to transition into a career as a financial advisor. With over five years of experience in the financial services industry, I now have the privilege of helping individuals and families create personalized strategies to achieve their financial goals. At Chamberlain Financial Advisors, I am proud to work at a fee-only, fiduciary firm where providing unbiased, conflict-free advice tailored to each client’s unique needs is at the heart of what we do.

Before moving into financial services, I spent 15 years working in nonprofit consulting, fundraising, and project management. I collaborated with some of Atlanta’s leading nonprofit organizations, including the United Way of Metro Atlanta, the Taskforce for Global Health, and The Carter Center. This experience honed my skills in strategic planning, management, budgeting, and client communications, all of which I use daily as a Financial Advisor.

To deepen my expertise, I earned the Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC®) designation from The American College of Financial Services. This credential reflects my comprehensive understanding of financial planning and my commitment to delivering expert guidance. I hold a bachelor’s degree from The University of the South in Sewanee, TN.
