Financial Advisor
.
As I was growing up, my parents encouraged my siblings and I to pursue godly discipline and wisdom: they worked hard, saved well, avoided debt, and lived freely and generously. At the same time, I watched them host marriage courses at church and in our home, and noted the stressors that can break families apart, namely, in areas of finance. Through my college studies and early career in university admissions, I witnessed countless examples of students, friends, spouses and parents feeling the pain of financial worry, and I wanted to do something about it. I am honored to serve my faith-filled community as we pursue financial peace and wisdom together.
I'm happily married to David Bruce, and we live in York, PA with our beautiful sons, Jonathan & William, and golden retriever, Happy. Together, we love growing, traveling, reading, cooking, trivia playing, exploring the woods at the family farm, and singing in the car. We are members of Genesis Church in York, PA, where we serve in various ministries.
My faith is imperative in my life, both personally and professionally; this passage continues to be a guide.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

Insights
September marked 5 years as a financial advisor with Thrivent, and I am incredibly grateful.
I thank the Lord for His faithfulness throughout this journey and for the many mentors, colleagues, clients, friends, and family members who have encouraged and shaped me along the way.
One of the things I love most about this work is helping families gain clarity and confidence as they navigate life's transitions, care for the people they love, and build a meaningful legacy. It's a privilege to walk alongside them in those important moments, to encourage through their concerns and celebrate in their wins. This is also at the heart of what we're building at Evergreen Financial Advisors of Thrivent.
And on a personal note, one of the greatest blessings has been working alongside my husband, David. Building a business, serving families, and pursuing a shared purpose together has been an unexpected and wonderful gift.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of these first five years. I'm excited to see what God has in store next.
