”I was inspired to pursue a career in financial planning after helping my mother deal with financial and investment matters after my father’s death. Through my personal experiences and my work with numerous clients over the years, I have come to appreciate the sense of empowerment and freedom that we can achieve by working together to organize and coordinate all facets of our financial lives. My goal is to help my clients manage their personal finances so they can focus more on their careers and family and to be there for them during both good times and during life’s difficult moments.”

As a Senior Wealth Manager, Cris advises women, doctors, and other professionals on how to prepare and save for retirement, develop retirement income management strategies, and address income tax and estate planning issues. She also helps clients create investment plans that are tailored to their personal situation and preferences. As a member of the OFM Wealth Investment Committee, Cris participates in the formulation of the firm’s investment and asset allocation strategy for all our clients.
