What are you looking forward to accomplishing most in 2026?

I never thought I would start my own firm, but since I moved to Utah, it has become something I feel ready for, and I hope to lay the foundation for it in 2026.

What challenges have you overcome to get here today?

I left Arizona, the practice I helped build and the community and clients I cared deeply about after nine years. I have spent the last year rebuilding from the ground up, both personally and professionally. So to be recognized this year really makes me proud of my resilience.
