Over 25 years ago, I was introduced to the financial services career when my mother passed away from breast cancer, and it was a local Edward Jones professional who helped me deal with my mother's estate. I've been very grateful for that support, and soon after, I left my position selling college textbooks and started learning about insurance and mutual funds and the world of estate considerations.

As a financial advisor, my role is to listen and suggest ways for clients to reach their goals. We problem solve together to get the results they are looking for. Those who seek the benefits of a coach or a guide when they are working outside of their own area of expertise will appreciate what we have to offer. Our proven 5-step process helps individuals, families and business owners identify what it is that they want their hard earned money to do for them. Each client receives the education and information to make informed decisions – no more guessing about what is needed to meet their retirement goal, college savings goal or first-time home purchase down payment and maintenance funds, to name just a few.

I enjoy the results of our work when families can become mortgage debt free, when students can graduate from high school and then college, debt free, and go into the work world ready to build for their future. I have dealt with death, divorce, marriage and birth of new babies, with all the financial and emotional changes that each event brings.

There is great joy for me in my work as a financial advisor in the Washington County area. We look forward to many more years of service to our friends and clients here in Oregon and beyond.
