The Journey that Brought Me Here

For years, I thrived at the front of a classroom, sparking curiosity and guiding students toward those unforgettable “aha” moments. While leading the after-school finance club, I saw firsthand how even the brightest minds often lacked the tools to navigate personal finance with confidence.

That experience lit a fire in me. I realized that financial literacy isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. I witnessed families struggling with debt, unsure how to plan for retirement, or missing opportunities to build lasting wealth. I knew I wanted to be part of the solution.

Today, as a financial advisor with Thrivent, I bring that same passion for educating into every client relationship. I help individuals, couples, and families gain clarity and confidence in their financial lives—whether that means creating a budget, managing debt, investing for the future, or preparing for life’s big milestones.

My mission is simple: to make financial planning approachable, empowering, and tailored to your goals.

Because no one should feel overwhelmed by money—and everyone deserves a plan.
