Tina joined Thrivent in late 2006 as a Financial Professional after many years of different people recommending this career for her. She has discovered helping people plan for their futures and providing financial guidance is a great fit for her psychology degree and project management background. Tina enjoys not only helping people plan for and achieve their financial goals, but learning about the fears, values and experiences that are at the heart of those goals.

With so much of her life spent in the office, Tina enjoys spending lots of her free time outside soaking up the many wonders our Eugene area has to offer. Some of her local favorites include attending sporting events (especially when rooting for the Ducks), hikes along the Ridgeline Trails, lunch at a winery, or simply hanging out on her deck with friends and family.

Tina received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from University of Oregon. Since joining Thrivent, she has earned and received the following designations: Chartered Financial Consultant – ChFC®, Certified in Long-Term Care – CLTC®, and Fraternal Insurance Counselor – FIC.
