"What do you want to be when you grow up?" was always a difficult question for me to answer. I knew I wanted to help people but could never decide which career path to pursue. Dreams of being a teacher, lawyer, psychologist and CIA analyst were tempting, but something was always missing. My sophomore year of college, I got an internship working for a financial advisor, a career which was never on my radar, but after that summer, I couldn't stop thinking about.

I graduated from The Ohio State University in 2017 with degrees in international security and intelligence and French, and a minor in Arabic. I had every intention of working for a "3-letter agency", but a federal hiring freeze meant there were no jobs available. I spent a year in France teaching English and making a career "wish list". I quickly realized the summer I spent working with clients – learning about their financial goals and what was most important to them – accomplished everything on my list!

Upon returning from France, I researched and interviewed with multiple firms, hiring onto Edward Jones in 2018. I began building my business in Columbus, Ohio, before relocating to Lafayette in 2019 to assist an advisor transitioning to retirement.

My Branch Office Administrator, Cherish, and I have worked together since the beginning and opened our branch in West Lafayette in 2022. Cherish and her husband, Drew, are foster parents to three girls, with their dog, Maverick.

My husband, Nick, and I were married in October 2022. We love to travel, play board games, watch football with our rescue-pup and try new local restaurants.

Locally, I am president of Lafayette Kiwanis Club and a proud member of Breakfast Optimists; 100-Plus Women Who Care, Association of Women Business Owners and Greater Lafayette Young Professionals, who named me one of their "Top 10 Under 40" in 2021.

I look forward to working together and helping to achieve your financial goals! Please reach out with questions and to schedule!
