My Mission
My mission is to guide clients toward financial growth and peace of mind by aligning their resources with their goals, values, and purpose. I aim to serve as a lifelong partner in helping them make wise financial choices and create the freedom to live life on their terms .
About me
I take great pride in my Serbian heritage and my active involvement in the Serbian community. As a member of Holy Resurrection Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, my faith and culture have always played a meaningful role in my life. I’ve also been involved in Serbian folk dance for many years, which has helped me stay connected to my roots, traditions, and the close-knit community I deeply value.
I’m a passionate sports fan who proudly supports the Chicago Bears and the Illinois Fighting Illini. Basketball has always been a big part of my life—whether I’m playing, watching, or talking about the game, it continues to inspire my love for teamwork, discipline, and perseverance.
When I’m not at a game or spending time with family and friends, I enjoy staying active and being outdoors with my dog, Kodi.
