Additional Information

Emilie’s “A Ha,” career moment…

“The path of my career took a sharp turn when I realized that taking a holistic approach to financal planning, and helping families define and achieve their most cherished financial life goals, is much more personally satisfying – and impactful – than the investment-focused roles I held previously.”

This realization has led to her focus on creating financial freedom for busy families like her own.

In addition to working with clients one-to-one, Emilie enjoys leading workshops on financal planning, reading and writing about raising financially functional children, money and relationships, values and philanthropy, as well as financial planning for women, and personal investment strategies.

Emilie thoroughly enjoys being a mom. In her spare time, she loves running marathons – especially with her sisters, practicing Bikram (hot) yoga, exploring the US on road trips, cooking, and reading voraciously.
