My elementary school hosted a career week when I was in 5th grade. At the end of the week, we were instructed to arrive at school dressed as the profession we would like to pursue. I remember that day vividly! I wore a blue blazer, dress shirt, name badge, pencil skirt, dress shoes and I carried a briefcase. I proudly told everyone that I was dressed as a business woman and that was what I wanted to be when I grew up!

As I got older, my vision of a business woman became more focused. I attended the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee where I earned a bachelor's degree in finance in 2002. I worked for 12 years in various aspects of wealth management and banking while living in Milwaukee.

In 2010, my family moved to Virginia. I had my first experience with Edward Jones from the vantage point of a client. I was so impressed with the financial advisor that we were partnering with, and the values of the firm, that I decided to join Edward Jones as a financial advisor in 2013. I went on to achieve the CFP® professional designation in 2017, and the CRPS® designation in 2020.

As an Edward Jones financial advisor, my primary goal is to assist investors in developing a custom investment strategy specifically geared toward their unique long-term goals. I specialize in retirement income planning, investment strategies and estate and tax considerations.

Whether planning for retirement, reducing taxes or saving for college, I can help!

My husband, Chris, and I have two amazing kids, Eleanor and Culver. Our other family members include our English Labs, Hank and Elliott. Weekends are spent at the softball fields cheering on Eleanor, completing fixer-upper projects, enjoying time outdoors and rooting for the Green Bay Packers. Chris grew up in Louisiana and graduated from Louisiana State University. GEAUX Tigers! Chris is a project manager for a home builder. He enjoys coaching Eleanor's rugby and softball teams. We are members of St. Ann's Church, where we love to volunteer.
