Advisor Headshot

Your Trusted Partner in Navigating Financial Complexity

With a career dedicated to wealth management, I am passionate about helping my clients achieve financial confidence. My mission is to simplify complexity so you can focus on what truly matters: your family, your goals, and your legacy.

Why did you choose Bernstein to grow your career?

Before joining Bernstein, I worked alongside hundreds of financial advisors across various institutions. Those experiences led me to two clear conclusions: I was committed to becoming a wealth advisor, and I would only work for a firm that delivers dedicated service. I believe Bernstein is that firm. For over 55 years, our research-driven approach and unwavering commitment to clients ensure they receive the most thoughtful, informed advice for their hard-earned assets. I’m proud to represent a firm so dedicated to helping clients achieve financial clarity and confidence.

How have your values and personal background specifically positioned you to work with your clients?

My upbringing instilled values of trust, loyalty, and family—principles I bring to every client relationship. When you choose to work with me, your goals become my priority. I treat your wealth with the same care and respect as if it were my own family’s. At Bernstein, our research-driven approach and fiduciary commitment ensure every decision is made with your best interests at heart, so you can feel confident in your financial future.

What passions do you pursue outside of work?

Outside of work, I am passionate about cooking and exploring new foods—a love rooted in my Sicilian heritage and family traditions around the table. I grew up playing all sports, but baseball is by far my favorite. I love the game and especially love the New York Yankees. Giving back to my community is also deeply important to me. I am a proud supporter of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which honors 9/11 families and our nation’s heroes. Leading our firm’s team in the annual 5K Run & Walk is a privilege and one of the many meaningful ways I am able to contribute to their incredible programs.
