While I enjoyed my time working as an analyst in my prior career, I wanted something different. I wanted to help inspire people to invest and prepare for retirement. In 2010, I decided to follow my passion for financial advising and chose to begin my career with Edward Jones because of their reputation for putting the client first.

With every client I meet with, it is a priority to me that I know what is most important to you and your family. I invest time understanding and appreciating what your goals, values and priorities are before making any investment recommendations. We do this by following an established 5-step process. From there, our branch team partners together with your CPA and attorney, in addition to our team of experts at the Edward Jones home office, to ensure that we have appropriate financial strategies in place for you and your family. Helping our clients transition into retirement is what I enjoy most!

I earned a bachelor's degree in business from the University of Florida, I received the AAMS™ professional designation in 2013 and in 2014, I proudly accomplished a lifetime goal of achieving the CFP® certification. I chose to pursue these designations because I was inspired by my mentor who was extremely successful and the utmost professional. In 2019, I had the honor of becoming an Edward Jones limited partner and I currently develop and train new to advanced financial advisors within my region.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with friends and family by taking advantage of everything Florida has to offer. You can find me attempting to learn how to dock a boat without crashing, running at the beach with my not-so-leash-trained dog, Chloe, or cheering on the Jags and Gators!

My Branch Office Administrator, Mike Pedersen, is seasoned in the industry with over 15 years of experience in financial services. He recently moved from an Edward Jones branch in Fort Collins, Colorado, and is excited about living in the Sunshine State. Together, we provide our clients with highly personalized service and strive to help them feel understood, informed, in control and secure about their future.
