Twenty nine years ago, I took a leap of faith by starting a business in a world where women did not do business. This gives me a different view of the challenges small business owners face and drives me to find solutions for their problems.

One of our key strengths at Smart Retirement is communication. I want clients to understand the steps in the financial planning process and stay informed along the way. Creating a two-way street paves the way to success for both of us.

It's important for clients to know they're not alone when it comes to financial challenges. As a small business owner, I have faced many of them first-hand. I share with clients the same practical advice I practice when making decisions.
