about me

I have been a CPA for over two decades; helping clients with a wide range of incomes navigate finances, business and taxes. I am now proud to add mortgage consulting as an additional tool to help individuals and families make intelligent choices with their money.

My spiritual background informs my sensibilities; since my accounting nickname is “Zen Mensch Accountant” it’s only proper that you refer me to as “Your Mortgage Mensch” for your real estate financing needs. (You see, I was born Jewish and those ethical values stay with me (hence the “mensch”), but I have practiced meditation for many years (the “zen”).

I was introduced to Domenic Apostolico, my Branch Manager, when he solved a complex house puzzle that arose out of my divorce. (The divorce was friendly but the housing piece was a headache!) 

I have two remarkable sons in their mid to older teens and a wonderful partner. 

I like racquetball and hiking and am (slowly) learning to play the drums. I am passionate about economic, social and environmental issues and serve on the board of the Economic Progress Institute of Rhode Island.
