When I was a junior in high school, I watched my mother leave a successful career in computer sales to join Edward Jones. Her transformation in finding a "career" as opposed to a "job" resonated with me, as did the love she developed in serving her clients. It took me three years in corporate America to realize I wanted the same thing. My passion is partnering with my clients to make them feel financially strong, secure and empowered!

Life rarely follows the path we expect. Throughout my almost 20-year career with Edward Jones, I have seen that firsthand, both in my life and in the lives of my clients. As your financial advisor, it is my intent to provide support, guidance and perspective throughout the roller coaster of life; both in the good times and bad. Understanding my client's goals, risk tolerance and priorities help us to build strategies designed to withstand life's ups and downs. I also strive to ensure all my clients understand my objectives, focus and costs so that there is never any questions or uncertainty between us.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from The University of Tulsa. In addition, In order to better serve my clients, I have and maintain the CFP® professional designation. My practice is focused on individuals, families and small business owners who are interested in developing a long-term partnership with myself and my team. Having personally been through the life changes of divorce and loss, I feel a special need to help others transition during those tough moments of life.

On the personal side, I live in Parkville, MO and am a proud mom to three amazing young men! I am an outnumbered boy mom and couldn't imagine anything else. Most of my spare time is spent at an athletic event for one of them or cooking mass quantities of food to feed them! I also enjoy exercise, reading and spending time with other family and friends whenever possible!
