I was born and raised here in Ruidoso, NM and this is the place I call home. I am excited to start raising my family here, serve clients and be involved in the same community.
Throughout my childhood, I was involved in student council, National Honor Society and many different sports. My mother was an early childhood teacher, and my father was a small business owner. At a young age, I learned the value of hard work, as my parents showed me every day.
Currently, my husband and I live on a 15-acre property and look forward to raising a family. Our first child, a little boy, is due in September of 2022 and we could not be more excited to start the journey of parenthood. I have always wanted to be a mom and I am grateful to be at this stage of my life. I cannot wait to teach him all the important things in life that my parents taught me.
When choosing the career path, I knew that I wanted to help people. I have a bachelor's degree in accounting, as I had originally had the desire to become an accountant. Although I do love the articulation of accounting, I decided that being an Edward Jones financial advisor was better suited for me. I have a deep desire to get to know my clients and build a long-term relationship and this career fulfills that need.
Edward Jones is devoted to putting clients first, which makes this the right firm for me. In the dedication to our clients, we now have many resources to use to help clients not only locally but all over the country. This is a large aspect of my business as I have many generations that I help and many of them do not live locally.
As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it is important to invest my time to understand what is important to you and the goals that we are working towards when investing your money. I have an established process that we will utilize to put a strategy together and every year, we will update that strategy to help make sure we are on track to achieve your goals.
I love being able to help my clients; whether it is planning for retirement or planning for educational savings, I know that I am helping them achieve their goals. The resources Edward Jones provides are exceptional. We help our clients on a personalized level. The clients that I work with are serious, long-term investors that are looking for someone to help them stay on track to achieve their goals.
