My Personal Story

I was born and raised in the charming town of Chico, California, where my parents' entrepreneurial pursuits formed the backdrop of my upbringing. Their unwavering dedication to hard work and perseverance left an indelible mark on my perspective on life and career.

In the face of early challenges in my teenage years, I navigated a path through substance abuse, emerging stronger and more determined after embracing recovery. This period of self-discovery led me to explore the realms of arts, photography, and poetry – avenues that ignited my creativity and passion.

A significant turning point came when I encountered the Bahá'í Faith, which has since guided my life's trajectory. The Faith's principles resonated deeply with my values, becoming a moral compass for my choices and actions.

My unyielding belief in the power of lifelong learning prompted me to adventure to China, where I taught English and immersed myself in a vibrant culture. Upon my return to the US, I pursued my higher education while navigating parenthood, and eventually attained my CPA credentials.

My diverse tax focused roles for the state cemented my commitment to a people-centered approach. My passion for fitness and holistic well-being is as strong as my dedication to empowering individuals in their financial journeys. In fact I am also a HMS nutritionist and NASM specialist.

The culmination of my life's path led me to the creation of Magnum CPA which has since evolved to FITAdvantages. At the core of my philosophy is an approach that seamlessly integrates Finance, Insurance, and Tax to guide clients toward their financial aspirations. Beyond being your CPA, I see myself as your mentor, coach, and trusted advisor, empowering my clients to achieve the pinnacle of financial freedom.

I believe my journey reflects the transformative power of resilience, the beauty of embracing growth, and the fulfillment that comes from nurturing one’s passion and purpose in both the financial and personal realms.
