Life is full of important milestones, and I recently celebrated one of my own. 💍 I’m grateful to begin this new chapter with my husband, Sean, and thankful for the incredible support from family, friends, clients, and colleagues. Experiencing a major life event has also been a great reminder of something I talk with clients about often: when life changes, your financial plan should too. Milestones like marriage, welcoming a child, changing careers, or planning for retirement are all great opportunities to review your goals, beneficiaries, and life insurance coverage to make sure the people you care about are protected. While so much is changing personally, one thing remains the same: my passion for helping individuals and families plan confidently for their futures. Cheers to new beginnings and the exciting seasons ahead! ✨ #NewBeginnings #GratefulHeart #LifeMilestone #FinancialAdvisorLife #Thrivent #WeddingCelebration #LifeInsurance #FinancialPlanning #ProtectWhatMatters #BlessedBeyondMeasure For disclosure information, see thrivent.com/social.

One of the few weekends out of the year that I get to feel like a professional tennis player… This weekend my 4.5 USTA team took home the Georgia State championship for the second consecutive year! I absolutely love this group of ladies and how we have bonded over the last few years through tennis. Catch us in Mobile, AL this July at the USTA Southern Sectionals where we will be back again to try for a win to send us to Nationals!

Two photos… one from 2020 starting at Thrivent, and one from today. The years in between were filled with growth, challenges, wins, and lessons that shaped far more than just my career. What I’ve learned is this: success isn’t linear… it’s built through resilience, consistency, and showing up no matter what. Still building, still learning, and more grounded in my purpose than ever. ✨

Photos from a weekend that filled my cup in the best way 🤍 Grateful for time at the Rotary District 6910 Conference at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort surrounded by incredible people who are committed to service and community. There’s something powerful about stepping outside the day-to-day and spending time with your connections in a setting that isn’t all business. Conversations go deeper, relationships grow stronger, and you have some fun in the process! Rotary Club of Canton took home Large Club of the Year… again 👏 THREE-PEAT!

The 2026 CCEF Gala was such a special (and lucky 🍀) evening supporting an incredible cause in our community. It was also great to see so many of my Rotary friends come out to support our Rotary President-Elect, Lisa-Marie Haygood, who did an amazing job helping bring this event to life. Proud to be part of this group of people who are always willing to step up and support meaningful work right here at home. 👏✨

Thrivent's 2026 Business Development Conference felt a little extra special - they brought their Midwest roots to Atlanta, Georgia. This week was a pause that allowed us to reconnect with our purpose, connect with friends, and explore the deeper why behind the work we do each day. We heard powerful reminders from Justin Forsett about resilience and the humility it takes to ask for help, something that applies as much to life as it does to leadership. We were also challenged by Zack Kass, whose insights into the next generation and the expanding role of AI in financial planning reinforced an important truth: while the tools we use will continue to evolve, meaningful advice will always be rooted in human connection. What stayed with me most was the consistent call to slow down and go deeper with our clients. This profession isn’t just about strategies, projections, or performance: it’s about understanding people. It’s about asking better questions and truly listening: What is the life you are trying to build, and what is your money actually for? See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.

He doesn’t join me for every community event, but when he does… he walks away a winner! My fiancé Sean was my date for the C5 Georgia Bourbon & Wine Event last week and managed to win a golf-themed raffle prize. I guess that made being my plus-one worth it! 🥃🍷⛳ Love supporting great causes and connecting with our community. Huge thanks to C5 Georgia for an incredible evening!

What will you do in retirement? Hopefully not just sitting around doing puzzles… In all seriousness, we sent beautiful fall-themed puzzles out to some of our clients a few months ago as a token of our appreciation, and to give them something to do when the weather turns! Thankfully my dad has other hobbies in his retirement but he did take the time to get this photo doing the puzzle! ❤️
