Katherine’s Story

Whether you are embarking on a financial journey, navigating the complexities of family life, or approaching retirement, I'm committed to ensuring your financial well-being.

My team offers expert guidance and support, drawing on our years of experience as seasoned financial advisors. By taking a holistic view of your financial situation, we develop tailored plans aimed at securing your financial future and achieving your goals.


As a Gainesville resident for over a decade, I am deeply connected with my community and contributed to various meaningful projects including:

  • Open Arms Early Learning Center, First Lutheran Church: Board Member
  • Scouts-BSA Merit Badge Counselor: Specializing in American Business, Dog Care, Entrepreneurship, Music, Personal Management, Reading, Salesmanship, and Swimming for Troop 454, Venture Crew 454, and Troop 9454 (All-Girls)
  • Academy of Entrepreneurship, Buchholz High School: Board Member (President from 2016 to 2018)

My Passion

For me, swimming is a holistic and fulfilling experience. The therapeutic embrace of the water not only keeps me physically fit but also serves as a sanctuary for my mental wellbeing. I often jest that swimming is the closes I can get to becoming a mermaid - my own form of aquatic magic.

Also, as a member of Swamp Water Aquatics of Gainesville, a competitive swimmer, and an active member of the Gainesville community, I make an effort to assess need within my community and guiding my steps toward taking action. By hosting fundraising events like Swim-a-thons, I use my passion for swimming to raise awareness for those who suffer from Autoimmune Encephalitis and raise money to donate to organizations with the same mission such as Autoimmune Encephalitis Alliance.
