I became a financial advisor because it's a perfect combination of two of my greatest passions: Helping people...and working with numbers. I have always been a very social person and enjoy meeting new people, hearing their stories and listening to their goals for the future.
I began working for Edward Jones in 2012 at the age of 20 and just six short years later, became one of the youngest financial advisors to be offered a limited partnership with Edward Jones.
Every day I am even more excited than the last, to help serve my current and future clients.
Working with my branch office administrator, Treda, we work to make sure our clients receive the highest level of service possible. Emphasis is placed on relationship building with our clients and we help ensure that those clients know that their interests come first and that they understand what they are investing in.
As a team, we find out what is important to our client, what their goals are and develop a strategy with them to help reach those goals making sure they know their contributions are respected and valued.
Throughout the process we keep an open line of communication and contact our clients on a regular basis to help them stay informed, but even more important, understand how they can work toward their financial goals.
I was born and raised in the Abilene area. While working at Edward Jones, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX, graduating in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in finance, and then decided it was time to head back to the Big Country where I belong.
An active member of the community, I support and am a member of many non-profit organizations. I currently help with GarageBand Woodstock benefiting New Horizon, Taylor County Livestock Show and serve as a board member of Kiwanis of Greater Abilene. I am a member of Abilene Young Professionals and a "Big Brother" with Big Brother Big Sisters of Abilene.
