I love puzzles, education, and helping people! These are the reasons I joined Thrivent in 2019 as a Financial Advisor after 17 yrs experience in banking and a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Science for Secondary Education with a certification in Art Education. My goal in this career is to help others as a partner to succeed in their financial journeys. Bring me your financial puzzle and I will help you put the pieces together, educate you, and help you succeed in the implementation over a lifetime. I relate to the beginnings of young families but enjoy being a part of the accomplishments of retirement and the introductions those partnerships bring to their extended families. I love the circle of beginnings to achievement!

My passions are family, faith, friendship, generosity, social sciences, art, music, yoga, reading, Disney, and puzzles. My family is everything! My husband, Brian, and I are the proud parents of two very intelligent, independent, beautiful, silly, and amazing little girls, Amelia & Liliana! They keep us on our toes. We also have two fur babies, Sully & Ellie, named after musicians who we love. Curious to know which musicians? Contact me! Aside from teaching our daughters they can be whatever they put their minds to, we enjoy teaching them to give to others as well. Generosity and faith are two major reasons I joined Thrivent and I love the mission Thrivent stands for. We cannot predict the future but we can plan for it and those plans can help us pay it forward and live generously! Contact me so I can help you achieve this.
