About Caitlyn
-
What do you love about your job?
If you love learning (like I do), finance is a great career. There’s always some new puzzle or topic to master. But my favorite part isn’t the intellectual side, but rather the emotional side. Being able to confidently tell someone they’re OK, everything is fine — that feeling of service is incredible.
-
What do you do outside of work?
I love spending time with family! My parents and siblings all live here in Las Vegas. I also enjoy cooking big meals for friends and reading books, especially mystery novels (Tana French, Anthony Horowitz) and business histories (David Enrich, Kurt Eichenwald.)

Who are your favorite types of clients?
All clients are my favorite clients! I especially enjoy working with women who own their own businesses. It’s a unique journey to which I can relate from my personal experience. And since I’ve worked in corporate strategy, I enjoy where personal finance and company finance overlap — especially if I get to build a new Excel model, that’s my happy place.
** Caitlyn will be on maternity leave from December 2024 to March 2025. **
