Carli has spent the better part of the last two decades dedicated to the field of finance and investments. It was a passion that started early and led her to where she is today, helping individuals manage their wealth through holistic and comprehensive financial planning. Understanding that financial planning and investing is more of a journey than a destination, she recognizes that each person she works with has a unique purpose for their wealth and it is her goal to help her clients fulfill that purpose.

Experience Matters
Prior to joining ML&R Wealth Management, Carli gained invaluable experience at Dimensional Fund Advisors, a global investment management firm headquartered in Austin, Texas. Being that her goal was to help individuals with their personal wealth, her tenure at Dimensional allowed her to gain the experience necessary for building the foundation of providing wealth management services to her clients. By spending time on the Portfolio Management team followed by educating Dimensional’s institutional and advisor clients on various retirement solutions, she gained the knowledge and expertise necessary to seamlessly integrate with the investment philosophy and best practices of ML&R Wealth Management. Since joining ML&R Wealth Management, Carli has helped her clients build, protect, and maintain their wealth through strategic and holistic financial planning.
