My background in the earth sciences reflects a way of thinking shaped by long time horizons, careful evaluation of uncertainty, and attention to the deeper structures beneath the surface rather than short-term noise. I bring that same analytical approach, together with a global perspective, to my practice today, helping people navigate their financial lives with clarity and purpose.

Uncertainty is a natural part of life, and many people tell me they wish they had started planning sooner. Not because they could have predicted what would happen, but because preparation creates confidence. I bring a grounded and relatable perspective to every conversation, helping people take thoughtful and intentional steps by meeting them where they are today.

I chose Thrivent because it is a unique, client-owned organization and the only not-for-profit Fortune 500 company, built on the belief that money is a tool to help us live with purpose. Here, I am part of a collaborative team supported by experienced, industry-leading advisors. This allows me to combine scientific rigor with genuine, values-based guidance. My goal is to build real relationships and help people move forward with confidence while staying focused on what matters most over time.
