What are your goals and why is that important to you? Those are two questions I work hard to understand. Whether you're an individual saving for retirement or a business owner trying to improve you and your employees' benefits, my focus is on what matters most to you. We use an established process and a deep bench of resources to choose the most appropriate financial strategy to help you achieve your goals. I have a passion for helping others, and love what I do.

I retired from the Air Force as a lieutenant colonel, where my experiences included leadership experience in executive-level communications, strategic planning, long-range financial planning and space operations. That range of strategic planning and problem solving, along with my desire to serve individuals in the Tennessee Valley community, led me to Edward Jones in 2013.

My education includes: BS, Auburn University, 1987; MA, Webster University, 1994; MS, Air University, 2000; Air War College, 2003. I also hold General Securities Representatives (Series 7), Uniformed Combined State Law Examination (Series 66) and life and health insurance licenses, as well as the CFP® certification and CRPC® professional designation.

My husband, Tom, and I were married in 1988 and have two children, Kevin and Aaron. Kevin serves in the Air Force, and Aaron attends Auburn University. I also have three grown stepchildren and five wonderful grandchildren. I enjoy serving the community through the N. Alabama Alzheimer's Association, Girls Inc, the Air Force Association and the Huntsville Women's Tennis Association and my homeowners' association. My interests are many and I enjoy spending my spare time outdoors as much as possible.

My teammates are branch office administrators Coreen McBride and Angie Young, with a combined experience of more than 18 years serving Edward Jones clients. As a team, we care about what matters most to you, and are committed to providing you with the highest level of service possible.
