I started my career as an Edward Jones financial advisor in Lewisville, Texas, in 2007. I have lived in the area since the early 1980s and attended Lewisville High School and the University of North Texas.

My father, Ron Patenaude, was also an advisor with Edward Jones and now my husband, Sean Gingrich, has joined the firm.

I hold the Accredited Asset Management Specialist™ (AAMS™)* designation and have recruited, trained and mentored new financial advisors.

I love to travel, serve my clients and spend time with family, especially my granddaughter, Samantha.

My branch office administrator, Jessica Bailey, is a phenomenal business partner. We have been working together for over 12 years and are both limited partners with Edward Jones.

Our focus is to partner with families, individuals and small businesses to understand what is important to them while using an established process to build personalized strategies to help them achieve their goals and stay on track.

*The College for Financial Planning awards the AAMS® designation to individuals who successfully complete a 12-module professional education program, pass a final examination, commit to its code of ethics and agree to pursue continuing education.
