Leila Izadian

Leila was born in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, raised in the desert of Arizona—and eventually found comfort in the solace of Southern California.  


Having obtained a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Neuroscience from UC San Diego, and working on her Executive MBA program  at Loyola Marymount, Leila developed a keen interest in the realm of Behavioral Finance and the human mind in relation to decision making, investments, and retirement planning.   Leila's more than a decade  of experience working with clients initially with Merrill Lynch and most recently  Money Matters with  Ken Moraif, put her in a unique position to assist you in reaching your financial goals.

Leila's business philosophy  comes from a Calvin Coolidge quote;   

“Any reward that is worth having only comes to the industrious. The success which is made in any walk of life is measured almost exactly by the amount of hard work that is put into it.”
