This is her fifth recognition by D Magazine as she has been named to the list consecutively since 2018.

Best Financial Planners Research Methodology:
D Magazine asked every CFP professional in the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of the Financial Planning Association to cast an online ballot. They were asked to name peers, both inside and outside their firms, whom they considered to be the most skilled and experienced financial planners in the industry. Outside-firm votes counted more than inside-firm votes and self-nominations were tossed out. A panel of esteemed local financial planners reviewed the list. Only CFPs made the list. A total of 783 votes were cast, and 278 individuals were nominated. Of these, 91 were selected.
Voting Criteria/Procedures:
Requirements for voters: 1) Ballots will be sent via email. 2) Voters are limited to a total of 5 votes, and no more than 2 votes can be for members of their own company. 3) No self-nominations are allowed. 4) Must be an active member of the FPA. 5) Must have an office based within D Magazine’s geographic boundaries, which include Tarrant County.
