I love my career and Edward Jones. Every day, I get to walk into a branch office that has my name on the door and know that I make a difference in the lives of my clients and their families.
It never gets old sitting across the desk from someone that I helped create a personal strategy to reach their goal and then to tell them, "Congratulations! You can retire anytime." The smile that comes across their face is unexplainable. And I never tire of helping young couples set up college savings for their children and seeing the pride they have in adding money to the account at every birthday and Christmas.
We want to know your full wealth picture so that we can work with you and your family for generations to come. It is also important to us to partner with your tax and legal professionals so that we can help you make the best decisions.
In our office, with every client, our goal is to:
1. Understand what is important to you
2. Use a process to build a personalized strategy
3. Partner together to stay on track through your lifetime
When you call our office, we want you to feel like you are talking to old friends.
I started at Edward Jones as an intern when I was 20 years old, and I hope to be here until the day I retire! I value the importance I have seen Edward Jones put on the client as our number-one focus.
I have been married to Will since 2004. He is a student pastor at Redemption Church. In 2017, we adopted our daughter, Isabella. Edward Jones allows me the flexibility to be a mom, wife and a financial advisor, and I am so grateful. I am also a volunteer at our church. I love to teach others about the hope and grace I have found in God.
In the community, I am an active member of the Herrin Chamber. I serve on the executive board and was the chamber president in 2019. I am also currently active in the Marion BNI Chapter.
