CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™
My family’s challenges with money while I was growing up inspired a passion to help people gain confidence in their own financial lives. Nothing makes me happier than seeing clients achieve a goal they previously didn’t think was possible.
I care deeply about building meaningful, trusting partnerships and approach conversations with a focus on collaboration. I enjoy spending as much time as needed to build a real sense of comfort before implementing a plan. Arriving at an optimal solution is only the first step—that’s just numbers. With true collaboration, we can craft a plan together that aligns with your personal dreams and desires.
Born in Tokyo, I spent the majority of my life in Upstate New York before moving to Denver in 2022.
I love calling Denver home and exploring everything the city has to offer.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling both domestically and internationally, attending concerts, and discovering new restaurants.
Team Aspen is rooted in Colorado, and like the trees themselves, our team is a tight-knit network of experienced advisors who are resilient and deeply connected. With the highest concert attendance by far, they’re in tune with connection and harmony—key elements in their approach to client service.
