Had a blast volunteering at the Lexie Hull Basketball ProCamp this past weekend! 🏀 It was amazing to see so many young athletes bringing energy, hustle, and heart to the court. Proud to support an event that builds leadership, teamwork, and confidence in the next generation. Also confirmed an important personal stat: I am officially 34 Papa John’s pizzas tall.

Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy — it’s for anyone who wants to protect what matters most. This week, I had the opportunity to help out at an incredible Estate Planning Seminar hosted by Thrivent. We packed the room with families and individuals looking to get clarity on what really happens when you don’t have a plan in place. We heard from: - Thomas Vick, an estate attorney out of Greenwood, who broke down the biggest misconceptions around estate planning, the role of health care directives, Medicaid eligibility, and how to avoid common legal pitfalls. - Erland Porter, my Market Director at Thrivent, who brought the financial side to life — covering the tax impact of poor planning, how to leave a legacy with minimal debt, and the importance of strong financial foundations. This event wasn’t about fear or worst-case scenarios — it was about clarity, control, and confidence in your future. If you’ve ever thought estate planning was something to “put off,” this is your sign not to. Let’s talk about what your legacy could look like — and how to make sure it gets there. #EstatePlanning #Thrivent #FinancialPlanning #Legacy See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.

This past weekend, I had the privilege of officially launching my career as a financial advisor with Thrivent and I couldn't have asked for a better way to kick it off! Grateful for the opportunity to bring together friends, family, and community for an afternoon of food, fellowship, and even a little pickleball🏓. It was a reminder of the power of connection and the incredible support system I’ve been blessed with. To everyone who helped make this event happen, thank you! I’m excited for what’s ahead in this journey with Thrivent and even more excited to walk alongside others as they pursue financial clarity, purpose, and confidence. #Thrivent #FinancialAdvisor #Community See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.

Hosted my first community workshop this week: “Financial Foundations – Create Your Own Blueprint to Thrive.” We explored four key money moves to help lay the groundwork for a stronger financial future: ✅ Pay down debt ✅ Manage your expenses ✅ Build your savings ✅ Protect your income Biggest Takeaway: Impact isn’t measured by the size of the room, but by the value each person walks away with. One guest shared that they were glad they chose to attend, even on their day off, because they walked away with something meaningful. That made it all worth it! Grateful for everyone who showed up and made it a great first event. Here’s to helping more people build their blueprint to thrive! #FinancialFoundations #Thrivent #CommunityWorkshop #FinancialWellness #BlueprintToThrive See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.

One of my favorite things about working for Thrivent is the Thrivent Action Teams program—it gives you the tools and support to lead fundraisers, service projects, and more with your community. I recently wrapped up my very first Thrivent Action Team event and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience! I had the opportunity to support my mom’s community yard sale, with all proceeds going to the nonprofit she founded: The Helen Svonavec Memorial Fund for Pets, Inc. This amazing organization helps cover medical and surgical care for stray pets in Monticello, Indiana and surrounding areas. Thanks to Thrivent’s generosity, we were able to provide meals and snacks for all our hardworking volunteers throughout the two-day event. I'm thrilled to share that we raised over $2,800 in donations! A huge thank you to all the volunteers and the incredible staff at my mom’s veterinary clinic who helped make this possible. #ThriventActionTeam #LiveGenerously See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.
