As an Edward Jones financial advisor for over six years, my goal is to help my clients save, plan, prepare and protect what is most important to them. Together with my branch office administrator, Christine Zabala, we will partner with you to help ensure wants, needs, dreams and goals are met through the process of open communication and deep understanding.

I attended LBCC, while working full-time in the banking industry. I am a region field trainer, I serve on our Market Opportunity Strategy board and partner with our regional leader in recruiting efforts. Helping our community is paramount to our practice. I am dedicated to the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce and Long Beach Broker Preview group; support the nation's largest chapter for Woman's Council of Realtors; walk for the Alzheimer's Association of America; current Chairman-Elect Advisory Board member of the Long Beach Salvation Army; serving as Trustee to St. Mary's Medical center in Long Beach, and Treasurer for Casa Youth Shelter in Los Alamitos. I serve on the Grand Prix of Long Beach board, and I'm an active member of Long Beach Alliance Church.

Outside of work, I enjoy being outside, exercising, volunteering, cross-fit, working in the garage and spending time with my friends and family.

You will feel the difference when you are under our care. Our firm has thousands of dedicated individuals and the latest in smart technology to help you reach your goals.
