Retirement Planning
I joined Thrivent because I believe financial guidance should do more than manage money—it should strengthen people and the places they call home. Thrivent’s purpose to help others be wise with money and live generously resonates deeply with how I want to show up every day: as an approachable, competent guide who advocates for families and equips them to thrive.
What makes Thrivent different is that generosity isn’t an afterthought; it’s built into our culture and supported with concrete pathways to serve. Our Workforce Generosity resources encourage volunteering, skills-based service, team activities, and even board service—so employees can bring their whole selves to the causes that matter.
For clients and employees who are members, Thrivent Action Teams offer simple, short-term, local projects—hands-on service, fundraisers, or educational events—backed by easy planning and a Community Impact Card with seed money to kickstart the work. The spirit is the “power of many”: gathering friends and neighbors to amplify impact across churches, schools, and nonprofits.
That combination of purpose, programs, and community focus is why I’m here. I want my day-to-day work to create clarity and confidence—and open doors for generosity that strengthens families and builds resilient communities. Joining Thrivent lets me live that calling, guided by values that put people first and turn generosity into action.
As a financial advisor, I am passionate about helping individuals and families build secure financial futures. My perspective has been deeply shaped by marrying a farmer and gaining firsthand insight into the dedication, resilience, and hard work required to sustain agricultural communities. Farmers are truly the backbone of our society, providing the food and resources that support our daily lives while facing unique financial and operational challenges. This personal connection has strengthened my commitment to supporting farmers through thoughtful financial planning and guidance, helping them protect their livelihoods, preserve their legacies, and continue the essential work they do for our communities and economy.
My Specialties with Farmers...
- Estate/Legacy Planning
- Life Insurance
- Investments
As both a mom and a financial advisor, I understand that every stage of life brings unique opportunities, challenges, and financial priorities. Whether you're building a career, raising a family, planning for your children's future, preparing for retirement, or navigating a major life transition, it makes a difference to work with someone who understands where you are and where you want to go. My experiences as a mother have taught me the importance of balancing today's needs with tomorrow's goals, and I bring that perspective to every client relationship. I believe financial planning is most effective when it's personal, practical, and tailored to the realities of your life.
My specialties with Young Families...
- College Planning
- Life Insurance
- Investments
I value assisting individuals and families with retirement and estate planning because having a well-structured plan in place is essential for achieving long-term financial security. Retirement and estate planning help ensure that clients can confidently work toward their future goals while protecting the assets they have worked hard to build. At Thrivent, we have specialized planning tools that help evaluate the likelihood that a client's assets and income sources will support their retirement needs and financial goals throughout their lifetime. These tools allow us to create personalized strategies, identify potential gaps, and make informed adjustments along the way. It is rewarding to guide people through these important decisions, helping them gain confidence that their financial future is on track and that their legacy can be preserved for the people and causes they care about most.
