I was raised and lived on a farm in South Dakota where many of my best memories remain. I grew up in a large family that was very active in agriculture, community, church, school, and sports. Upon obtaining my college degree at MSUM, I began my career as a Human Resource Executive with Target Corporation. This career allowed me to get to know the people on my team and take care of their needs, understand their goals, and help protect their families with health and other employee benefits. My compassion for others is highlighted in my role as a Financial Professional at Thrivent. I have been with Thrivent for ten years and love what I get to do each day. Helping people on their financial journey and understanding their “WHY-WHAT-WHO” is important to me. Why do you work?  What do you wish your legacy to be?  Who do you love?  I want to help people find the peace and joy of a good financial strategy so they can live their lives to the fullest and leave the most to the people and places they deeply care about.

My Thrivent journey began many years ago serving on the East Polk County Chapter Board and as a Congregational Advocate. I feel that working as a church secretary for 12 years helped prepare me for my important role at Thrivent as an Office Professional. I find work here at the practice very fulfilling. I look forward to helping our Thrivent members, the ministerial committee and our local communities for many years to come.
