Financial well-being starts with meaningful conversations about personal goals, and values. I believe clear and relevant communication builds the foundation for trust and confidence, both essential in helping clients plan their future. At Lightcap Financial Group (LCFG), I bring a mission-driven approach and more than a decade of experience in strategic marketing and client engagement to support our commitment to guiding clients with clarity and care. 

My role focuses on connecting people and purpose. I help share our story, strengthen relationships, and expand our outreach across clients, partners, and the broader community via various digital platforms and through traditional in person networking, and print media. Before joining LCFG, I worked as a marketing consultant in San Diego, supporting real estate and mortgage professionals through brand strategy, digital and print marketing, and event-based outreach. Along the way, I learned that professional transitions can be deeply personal, challenging our sense of identity and purpose. Having navigated those changes myself, I bring empathy, creativity, and resilience to every project. 

My career began in international education as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Cape Verde, followed by several years teaching English as a Second Language across multiple countries and U.S. states. Those experiences strengthened my adaptability and cross-cultural communication skills, all qualities that continue to inform my work today.
