Client Support

Danu draws on her years in education to bring patience, structure, and warmth to her work with clients. She has a gift for anticipating needs and making every interaction feel personal and organized.

She is powered by the perfect cup of coffee and sunshine, finds joy in simple pleasures in spending time with family and friends, especially visits with her kids, Luke and Riley.

She loves traveling to sunny places and, in her free time, can usually be found reading a good book, cheering on local sports teams, hiking nearby trails, or spending time with her very spoiled dog.

What drew you to financial planning?

Like with my career in education, financial planning is rooted in helping people achieve important goals and enrich their lives. The work is meaningful. And my skill set is helpful to keep our team organized and build trust. to establish strong client relationships

What’s your favorite travel memory?

Right before covid… Kenyan safari with my sister, son, and daughter… incredible memories… being totally unplugged and bonding with loved ones, experiencing amazing animals, landscape, and culture!

Walking the trails by my house… in my backyard with my doggy reading a book… on a deck with a delicious cocktail…
