Chapter V: About Ann

Insight Meets Compassion

Ann honed her natural analytical ability in her years as an astrophysicist, a software developer, and a program manager in the defense industry. But becoming a financial advisor added the missing piece, the chance to make a difference in people’s lives. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNING™ professional (CFP®) and financial advisor, she finds great satisfaction in helping people become intentional about their money, wherever they are in their unique life journey.

Now based in the wide-open beauty of New Mexico, she draws inspiration from the strength and grace of horses and the soaring perspective of eagles—helping clients see the big picture while staying grounded in what matters most. Her approach goes beyond numbers, weaving together strategy, values, and vision to create a clear, confident path forward—wherever you call home.
