This personal experience ignited a passion in me to become the financial planner I wished I had back then. I want to be the trusted partner for families like mine, navigating the complexities of financial planning for special needs children. I understand the emotional stress parents go through—the sleepless nights, the constant worry about the future, and the fear of leaving their child financially unprepared. My goal is to help ease that burden by providing empathetic, informed, and structured financial planning tailored specifically for families with special needs children. At the same time, I have a deep respect for healthcare professionals, who dedicate their lives to caring for others but often have little time to focus on their own financial well-being. Through close friendships with doctors, I have seen firsthand how their demanding schedules make it difficult to prioritize personal financial planning. Their challenges may be different from those faced by special needs families, but the underlying concern is the same—uncertainty about the future and lack of time to focus on financial security.

This shared sense of purpose led me to establish MaNTRANA Advisors, a financial advisory firm dedicated to serving two unique yet deeply connected communities: Healthcare Professionals and Families with Special Needs Individuals.

My love for numbers and financial planning runs deep. With a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering and an MBA from the Wharton School of Business, I have spent my career analyzing complex problems and finding data-driven solutions. Investment management and financial planning have always been personal passions of mine, and now, I have the opportunity to apply my analytical skills and lived experiences to make a real difference in people’s lives.
