"Working with Kellan has been a great experience. She is thorough, patient, and always willing to answer questions in a way that makes you feel informed rather than overwhelmed. She is so knowledgable and transparent, and I can tell she has a genuine desire to help. I feel so supported and understood every step of the way. I couldn’t recommend her more."
