Are you an Executor or Executrix? Working with a Certified Executor Advisor will help you navigate through the 17 potential professions involved in settling an estate needed to achieve  the best results for everyone involved.  I first became interested in this area after helping my mother through her journey in settling my father’s estate.  She had so many questions and was receiving conflicting advice and incorrect information from her financial service providers.  Who knew there were ways of filing his taxes to multiply his basic exemption?...or specific planning opportunities to restructure her finances to eliminate the Old Age Security Claw-back she now faces? Knowledge is power and the practical estate administration advice a Certified Executor Advisor can provide is second to none in the industry.  I have walked this journey along side my mom and know what you are facing and would be pleased to help.

Employed with PPI, one of Canada's leading MGAs, I work with insurance and investment professionals seeking to provide holistic advise to their clients.

As a Wealth Advisor, it is my responsibility to guide existing and prospective TD customers through the process of transitioning to the world of TD Wealth (a place where specialists work to help simplify - and add value to - the lives of high net worth individuals and families).

I do not manage wealth or investments. Instead, I meet with clients to learn about their values, priorities and goals and then find the appropriate TD specialist to bring into the conversation. TD Wealth has a great team of industry professionals that I regularly turn to in order to provide what I believe to be world class services and advice to my customers.
