As a longtime Thrivent member, I appreciate my role as a financial advisor. I understand how important planning for the future is to ensure one’s overall financial security.

My passion for helping people be wise with money stems from the time I spent helping my aging parents make crucial financial decisions.

It was during this time that I discovered how important it is to bring families together and establish a financial plan that takes into account the various needs we encounter as we age.

God has blessed me abundantly with a fantastic family that has been with me through the ups and downs in life. My wife and I have been married for 43 years. We have two married children and love spending time with our grandchildren. I understand the need to safeguard your family’s financial security throughout all stages of life because I had to walk through those important decisions for my own family.

I specialize in the following areas:

• Long Term Care (CLTC)
• Tax Efficient Legacy Planning
• Retirement Income Planning (RICP)
• Generosity Planning
• Dedicated Planning Services

In 2014 I joined Thrivent as a financial representative after retiring from 21 years of service in the United States Navy. I transitioned into a corporate training specialist position in 2016, where I provided training, support, and guidance for financial advisors across the state of Michigan. In 2018, I became a regional learning specialist covering the Southeastern United States. I focused on onboarding, training, and coaching new financial representatives to run successful practices. As rewarding as this work was, I missed the personal relationships I held with my clients. 

It is truly my honor to join Agape Financial Associates. Not only is this a talented team of passionate service-driven financial professionals, but they are driven by a higher purpose at their core. We are truly honored that God gives us the opportunity to help people build dreams with a plan to achieve them.

You want me to do what? Work for you on the phone? Me, the Homeschooling mother of three, hairdresser and wife. I wasn't sure I would like to do that. Well, fast forward to now and I love it! I am the voice you hear on the phone, the scheduler and event planner for Agape Financial. I have a passion for introducing you to our wonderful Financial Advisors.

I am also so blessed to be able to pray with and for each one of you when you call me. I love singing to you on your birthday, sending cards and planning events for all of us to connect. I love being able to share my faith with all of you.

I am a family-first woman, and I have realized in this job that you can always make money, but you can't get time back.

I have been married for 29 years and have three wonderful grown daughters who all walk with Jesus, what a blessing from the Lord that is to me and my husband. 

I also attend a women's bible study and run a community group for married couples with my husband out of our home.

I want my legacy to show that I loved others well and brought God glory. I hope and pray that when you work with us you feel cherished and can sense how much Jesus loves you. Call me anytime for prayer or to schedule appointments with a team member.

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord." Colossians 3:23a NLT
