As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it's important to invest my time in understanding what you're working toward before you invest your money. Working closely with you and your CPA, attorney and other professionals, I can help determine the most appropriate financial strategy for you and your family. I can also help with your retirement goal strategy, so you may have more options when you retire, regardless of what you decide to do.

I began my Edward Jones career in 2003 as a financial advisor in Sylvania Township. Today, Edward Jones serves the Sylvania community from several convenient locations.

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in education from BGSU in Bowling Green, OH, where I majored in sports management and minored in business. In addition, I received the AAMS™ professional designation in 2011. I also hold a Series 7 registration and a license for Life, Health and Annuities.

In 2008, I received the Distinguished Community Woman of the Year Award from the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio. I am also a lifetime-certified Toastmaster. In 2000, 2001 and 2010, I ran and completed a full marathon. I have also run and completed several half marathons.

I am active in the community, serving as a member of the Sylvania Rotary and Sylvania Chamber of Commerce. In 2019, I served as the chairperson of Sylvania Chamber of Commerce and currently serve on the board. I am also a member of Business Network International (BNI) and the Women's Entrepreneur Network (WEN).
