At Ahead Full Wealth, we help people who’ve built a good life feel confident they’re making the most of it, financially and otherwise. We serve those who’ve quietly crossed significant milestones: a military retirement, a solid government pension, a seven-figure portfolio. They’ve done well but wonder if there’s more they could be doing. We step in with clear, strategic advice that fits their real life—focused on what matters most, not just what’s possible. As a fee-only planner based in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, I work closely with mid- to late-career military families, educators, and government professionals. These clients often juggle complex benefits, career shifts, and big family decisions. My job is to simplify those moving parts, bring structure to the chaos, and help align their money with the life they want to lead—today and in the years ahead. Ahead Full was built to offer deeply personal planning, the kind that evolves with you. Our process helps clients get clear on their goals, navigate tradeoffs, and make confident decisions with their finances. Whether we’re managing investments, modeling a Roth conversion strategy, or choosing the right survivor benefit plan, we’re here to guide with intention and care. In October 2024, we joined APFORIA, LTD as a tenant firm. This partnership expands our capabilities while preserving our independent voice and close-knit approach. We’re still Ahead Full—just with a little more wind in our sails. I bring experience as a military leader, educator, business owner, and planner. I know how life can pull in a hundred directions. And I know how good it feels to regain your bearings. That’s the work I love: helping people steer with purpose and move forward, full ahead.

Are you a fellow GenXer who feels like you missed the boat on retirement planning? Are you trying to launch your kids, care for your parents and plan for retirement, all while trying to live well today? Are you getting ready to retire from the military or federal service and re-imagine the next phase of your life? I am here to help you stress less about your money and live more. Financial planning is the key to financial security. Financial security is the key to freedom; the freedom to change jobs or launch a new business; the freedom to move to a new neighborhood; the freedom to live life on your terms. I can guide you on your journey to financial freedom, security, and peace. Life doesn’t always go according to plan. As a military spouse, I learned to be adaptable, agile, and tenacious. My own financial journey started when it was suddenly up to me to plan for my family’s financial future while my husband was frequently deployed. Over the past ten years, I have helped countless military service members, law enforcement officers, and a whole lot of GenXers navigate life transitions, career changes, relocations, and retirements. As a Financial Planner, I get to make the world a better place, one family, one person at a time. I am a Certified Financial Planner™ Professional, Chartered Financial Consultant™ and Accredited Financial Counselor®. I started Clear Insight Financial Planning so that I could help more families achieve financial security and freedom.
