About Diana

“I love working alongside individuals and families to demystify the world of finances so that they have a clear path to meeting their financial goals. As a former track and field athlete, I had great coaches who helped me understand that you can't start every race by sprinting. You have to set a pace that is realistic but pushes you to achieve your goals. I see myself as a coach to you with your financial goals. Everyone is running a race that is different than the person next to them, and you need a plan, pace, and coach who can help you navigate all the factors that affect your ability to reach your financial goals.”

We talk about

* Why everyone should meet with a financial advisor

* Planning for your children’s college expenses
