As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe my job is to find out what is important to you for your financial future. It's also important to understand the level of risk you're comfortable with so we can balance it with the steps necessary to reach your long-term goals.

Our branch team collectively has 52 years of experience in the financial services industry and 38 years with Edward Jones. We work together in partnership with our clients to help you stay on track or determine if any adjustments need to be made. Throughout it all, we're dedicated to providing you top-notch service.

But we're not alone. Thousands of people and advanced technology support our office so we can help ensure you receive the most current and comprehensive guidance and processes. In addition, we welcome the opportunity to work with your attorney, accountant and other trusted professionals to deliver a comprehensive strategy that leverages everyone's expertise.

In my time with Edward Jones, I have held numerous leadership positions including legacy host, women inclusion leader, regional coordinator for the Walk to End Alzheimer's and mentor, and have served on the hiring and recruiting teams. I was honored to be the recipient of the 2013 Ted Jones Spirit of Caring Award, an indicator of my dedication to my clients and their needs.

As a native Houstonian, I enjoy giving back to my community. I am a longtime participant in the "Commit for Life" blood donor program. I am a Lifetime Member of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and have dedicated my time to support the Lions Club, BPW, ABWA, Houston Northwest Chamber of Commerce and the Cy-Fair Women's Network. I have two grown daughters who make me immensely proud, and my three grandchildren have brought a level of happiness to my life I didn't even know existed.
