My working style is collaborative, while firmly representing my clients’ interests. I believe in giving clear advice and being available whenever needed by my clients.  

"I respect the hard work that my clients do to ensure the security of their members’ benefits. Understanding risk is not easy and I take pride in being a ‘trusted adviser’, helping my clients understand their company and calibrate their risk exposures."
