I am truly blessed to love my work! Investments and estate tax planning have intrigued me ever since my parents did their wills and trusts. This interest led me to study accounting, taxation and law. I received my CPA certificate and law degree (juris doctorate) from Oklahoma City University and my bachelor's degree from Oklahoma Christian University. In 1998, I joined Edward Jones and spent five years in our home office as a general partner for retirement plans for businesses.

With our clients, I use an established process that begins by gaining an understanding of what's most important to them. We discuss potential risks such as changes in job, change in marriage, long-term care and protection needs. Since life happens and tax laws change, we meet regularly to stay on track. To provide a comprehensive service, I also collaborate with clients' CPAs and attorneys, always respecting client confidentiality. I am registered in multiple states and can serve clients and families beyond state borders.

I am dedicated to helping a variety of clients organize, build, protect and transfer wealth to create legacies. I am passionate about empowering women facing major life transitions, including widowhood and divorce. I also work with business owners to reduce taxes and manage retirement plans. With my retired clients, we focus on deriving income from their investments, keeping a balanced portfolio and reviewing cash flow.

Debra Mooney, our Branch Office Administrator, joined Edward Jones in 1993. Our clients appreciate her quick response time, attention to detail, respectful manner and personalized approach.

I live in Kirkwood, MO with my husband, Eric, our four children and our tiny Yorkie, Max. In my "free" time, I enjoy volunteering for Kirkwood Middle PTO and Greentree Community church, cooking, gardening, home projects and traveling with my family.
