About Selena

Our retirement income specialist.

Selena is a wealth management advisor at Applied Wealth Management, based in the firm’s Atlanta office and serving clients nationwide. Her specialty is retirement income planning for high-earning women: she maps every account, benefit, and obligation into one picture, then engineers an income built to last. She holds the CFP® certification and the RICP®, the industry’s deepest credential in retirement income.

The industry has noticed: NAIFA Atlanta named her one of its Top Women Advisors and one of its Top Advisors Under 40, and she is a regular voice on podcasts and conference stages on why high-earning women remain the most underserved clients in wealth management. Her clients notice something simpler. Women who built careers, raised families, and saved diligently can finally answer the question underneath it all: am I going to be okay? Selena answers it with the whole picture laid out in front of them.

The whole-picture habit has a history. Before financial planning, Selena spent fourteen years in information technology, and she brought its discipline with her: don’t trust a plan until you can see every part of it working together.

Clarity creates freedom. Freedom gives you time. And time is what gives you options.

The Work Optional Framework

How she makes work optional.

Selena’s framework moves a client from a drawer full of statements to an income engineered to last.

Clarity

See the whole system at once.

Every account, benefit, pension, and obligation mapped into one picture, with an income gap analysis that shows exactly what’s guaranteed and what your portfolio must fund.

Control

Engineer the income.

Social Security timing, withdrawal sequencing, Roth conversion windows, and RMD coordination. Every decision is modeled before you have to make it.

Confidence

Decide from strength.

A written plan stress-tested against inflation, markets, and a long life, then reviewed as your life changes, so every choice you make is one you understand.

Speaking & Media

In the conversation.

Selena speaks and writes regularly about wealth, ownership, and the financial conversations women deserve to be part of.
