Stages. Life is all about stages. Stages that bring challenges and rewards alike. Through the stages that I have encountered in life, I have seen many challenges and rewards. One of the most recent stages has been my career transition to Edward Jones. It has been an exciting challenge that is sure to bring many rewards.

I grew up as a daughter to a small business owner in a small town in eastern New Mexico. My mom was the owner/operator of a Sears Catalog store at a time when a woman at the helm of a business was extremely rare. My dad joined alongside her after a couple of years, and it became a family-run operation. I began working for my parents by age 5. I made fifty cents an hour for labeling the catalogs with a neat little sticker that had the store address and phone number on it, complete with a cartoon caricature of a woman who resembled my mom. You could not find a better label placer in the whole county for that wage! Even though I started out placing those labels on the catalogs, I was eager to learn and eventually grew to know the whole operation just as well as my parents. In those stages of my life, I learned the ups and downs of owning a business in a small town as well as the value of a strong work ethic. In each stage of my life – a young child, a pre-teen and a teenager – I worked, and I worked hard just like my parents. These early experiences have shaped me into the hard-working woman I am today!

I believe in any stage of life, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing people succeed financially. I am passionate about developing deep, meaningful relationships with my clients so that I can best understand what is most important to them in each stage of their lives. Whether it be retirement, education, travel or emergency cash, I want to help them live the life they dream of in every stage of life!

When I am not working with clients, I like to golf, bake and craft. I also thoroughly enjoy spending time with my children and grandchildren.
