About Shawn Vradenburg

I am a Financial Advisor with Thrivent with offices in Hudson, Wisconsin and Eagan, Minnesota. I earned my Bachelor of Science at the University of Minnesota in Applied Economics with a Finance emphasis. Before Thrivent, I worked as an executive for a small Minnesota based company and was a Sergeant in the Army National Guard. I chose to build my practice here at Thrivent because Thrivent, being a not for profit Christian membership organization, gives my clients and financial advisors opportunities to live generous lives in many ways that is unique and special in our industry. I have been married to my best friend Ashley since 2013 and we love spending time with our children Ivadell, Adonira and Lototele.

        Doreen is often the first person you will interact with when you visit or call our office. She will provide you with assistance in scheduling appointments and addressing any inquiries you may have regarding new or existing accounts.

         

        She became a member of Thrivent during her teenage years growing up in the small town of Glencoe, Minnesota. When she was young, she and her brother “worked” for their mother by stuff envelopes for the local AAL branch. Doreen’s background includes her education and experience as a legal assistant. She has worked at several law offices and mortgage companies across different regions of the country. In her most recent employment, she found joy in interacting with the young children as a preschool assistant at Trinity Academy in Hudson.

         

        She has lived in the Hudson area with her husband and 3 children since 2003. In her free time, she enjoys reading, golfing, and attending her children’s various activities. She has been employed as an office professional since 2017.
