    In the Office

    Carolyn brings something that shows up more in how she works than on paper: a mathematician's precision paired with a genuine interest in the details most people skip past. She studied Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Connecticut, and that background still shapes her approach to every plan that crosses her desk - she doesn't take the numbers at face value, but works through the underlying assumptions and checks the math until she's confident it holds up.

    With more than a decade of experience across the financial planning process, Carolyn has worked through nearly every kind of situation a client's life can present, from career changes and inheritances to business sales and unexpected losses. What that experience has taught her is that complexity usually just means there are more pieces to account for, not that the plan itself has to feel complicated to the person living it - and making sure it doesn't is a large part of what she does.

    That steadiness matters most when the stakes are high. Whether it's a major transition, a tax decision with a narrow window, or a plan with a lot of moving parts, Carolyn is the kind of person clients and colleagues want in the room, because she stays calm, works through problems methodically, and doesn't let a detail slip through.

    Originally from Wethersfield, Connecticut, Carolyn now lives in Dallas with her husband, Cathain, and their two children.
