Private Tutoring for FINRA, CIMA®, and Insurance Licensing Exams. Personalized, one-on-one tutoring backed by 25+ years of real-world financial industry experience and graduate level academic achievement. Complex material made clear — tailored to your timeline.

My career in financial services spans more than 25 years — working across securities, investment management, and insurance. During that time, I earned and maintained licenses across the full spectrum of FINRA and state exams, including the Series 7, 63, 65, 66, 24, 52, and SIE, as well as a North Carolina Life and Health Insurance license.

I pursued my education with the same intensity I bring to tutoring — earning a 4.0 GPA at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, culminating in a Master of Science in Finance. I also hold the Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®) designation, one of the most demanding credentials in the investment advisory profession.

After years in the industry, I found my greatest satisfaction in helping others navigate the licensing process. These exams are challenging — not because the concepts are impossible, but because the material is dense, the stakes feel high, and most candidates are preparing on their own. I change that equation.

My approach is personal, patient, and practical. I meet you where you are, explain things clearly, and make sure you walk into your exam ready — not just prepared, but confident.
