Money is a tool that God uses through his children to create lives rich in meaning, gratitude, joy and abundance. Beginning my financial services career in 2003, I embarked on a mission to help families wisely manage and honor the blessings and resources entrusted to them. After several years as a field manager with Thrivent, I earned advanced designations as a Certified Financial Planner® certification, Certified Kingdom Advisor®, Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy and Fraternal Insurance Counselor, through which I gained further knowledge of the industry and how to better serve God and my clients through financial planning. I subsequently established the Avonlea Financial Group with my business partner and fellow financial advisor Katherine Gross in 2022. 

All throughout my tenure, my journey reflects a commitment to this profession and the clients and community I am privileged to serve. I am proud to be a Thrivent financial professional and even more proud to help clients and their families through personalized financial guidance.
