I joined The Sterling Group in 2023. I received a B.S. in Business Administration and Finance from CSU Dominguez Hills. My position as a Client Relationship Manager allows me to collaborate with my colleagues to build long-lasting relationships with our clients and their families.  What I love most about my job is interacting with people daily, hearing their stories and helping them work toward achieving their financial goals.

When I am not at work, you’ll find me traveling, exploring the outdoors, and helping animals. I currently live with my four rescue cats and two rescue dogs. They are a handful and do not always get along, but I am happy that I can provide them with a comfortable place to live. I love to bake and while I may burn the cookies every now and again, I truly enjoy the process. I also recently started gardening and growing my own fruits and vegetables, hopefully I’ll be able to supply The Sterling Group with fresh vegetables from Ale’s garden.
