The road traveled:

Upon graduation from Shippensburg University with a bachelor's degree in accounting, staying in the Lebanon Community was a priority. I continued my education at Lebanon Valley College and received a master's degree in business administration. My lifelong love of learning led me to finish my education with a doctorate in business administration. My career started as a controller, and then segued to HR director, higher ed administrator of business programs, and culminating in my current career, after completing specialized training, as a financial advisor with Edward Jones. I have focused my efforts on financial strategies, retirement planning, insurance and business retirement planning.

How does our branch serve you?

Renee, my branch office administrator, and I enjoy working with our clients, getting to know them and learning what's important to everyone. Together we develop strategies and focus on personalized solutions to help today's families reach their goals.

Who am I?

When I am not at work, I am passionate about volunteering in my community through the Community of Lebanon Association, the Lebanon Valley Chamber, Junior Achievement and Millcreek Lutheran Church. My husband and I enjoy being outdoors and traveling. Our bucket list -- our milestones yet to be accomplished -- include visiting all the national parks and touring the inside passage of Alaska. Our greatest happiness comes from family, and we have two adult children, Zachary and Amanda, and we share our home with two cats and a dog.
