Her story

40+ year SOCIAL SECURITY EXPERT

I have been a journalist for more than 40 years, always based in Washington, D.C, usually writing about money. I’ve written about big picture policy issues, such as the federal budget and tax legislation, as well as consumer-focused personal finance advice articles on how to fully get maximum Social Security benefits, minimize tax bills, and enroll in Medicare.

Her mission

Deciding when and how to claim your maximum Social Security benefits is one of the most important decisions that retirees will ever make, but the rules are complicated. I understand the rules and my mission is to serve as a trusted resource for both consumers and financial professionals. You probably have a lot of questions. But you only need one answer—the right one for your situation. I can help.
