FINANCIAL EXPERT:

Known for: Investment management knowledge, published research papers on hedge funds, and frequent

appearances on CNBC.

Inspired by: The great investors of our time like Warren Buffett, Will Danoff, and especially my mentor Tom Allen

of Fidelity Investments.

BEHIND THE SCENES: I spent my formative years competing in pageants, held the titles of Miss RI Teen America 1997,

Miss Bay State 2002, and was a semi-finalist in the 2005 Miss RI USA pageant. Pageants helped me become the

woman I am today and I am forever grateful.
