Focused on What Matters Most
Focused on What Matters Most

As a Thrivent Financial Advisor, my focus is on helping individuals and families feel confident and in control of their financial future. My approach is rooted in clarity, education, and long-term relationships—because I believe financial planning should feel approachable, not overwhelming.


I’m especially passionate about helping guide and support individuals who are stepping into new seasons of life—whether that’s a career change, growing a family, navigating a major life event, or simply taking the next step toward greater financial clarity. These transitions can feel overwhelming, but they also present an opportunity to be intentional and move forward with confidence.

From High School Educator to Financial Educator
From High School Educator to Financial Educator

Prior to entering the field of financial services, I spent several years in the classroom as a high school English teacher. That experience shaped how I work with clients today: I prioritize listening first, explaining complex ideas in a clear, relatable way, and meeting people where they are.


Whether you’re just getting started, navigating a life transition, or refining an established plan, I’m here to help you make thoughtful, informed decisions that align with your goals and values.

My goal is simple: to help you feel informed, empowered, and supported every step of the way.
