Edward Jones became my professional home starting in 2017. Becoming a financial advisor has been a purposeful extension of my career as an actuary, formerly working with large company pension and retirement systems. Edward Jones allows me to now bring my knowledge to serve individual investors as they aim to accomplish their personal financial goals. It is very fulfilling to partner with, organize, coach, educate and support people in their financial journeys.

From the outset, I aimed to open a rural-based branch office to serve the community of King County near Ravensdale and Hobart, where my family moved in 2011. I also actively serve clients from throughout the Puget Sound area after living for years on Queen Anne and working in downtown Seattle.

Clients can expect a partnership of honesty, transparency, resiliency and caring when building and nurturing their most important financial goals within my branch. It’s a special pleasure to operate daily from a building with historic roots and "good bones" as the prior home of the local post office, situated alongside county commuter roadways, near local ball fields and other rural adventures with unique history.

Educationally, I earned a bachelor's degree in business administration and economics from Boise State University, with an emphasis in French, while also competing on their blue track as a scholarship sprinter. I’m also an AAMS™ professional and maintain my actuarial credential.

My husband, Bryan, and I have two sons, Dominic and Adam. We enjoy our family and friends, our community and our critters – two dogs, a cat and a horse (and an occasional pig, sheep and chickens). I am an active member of the Maple Valley Rotary Club, the Maple Valley Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce and other local organizations serving the greater Ravensdale area and beyond, and have also served as an elected school director on the Tahoma School District board (2017-2022).
