I am a native Houstonian and proud Texan who believes deeply in faith, family, and purpose-driven work. After graduating from Sam Houston State University in 2004, I chose to begin my career with Thrivent Financial—a decision grounded in my alignment with Thrivent’s Christian values and its focus on genuinely caring for its members.

As a Financial Consultant, my passion is helping clients understand and implement thoughtful financial strategies. My areas of focus include tax efficiency, risk management, legacy planning, and holistic financial planning. By piecing together each client’s unique financial puzzle into a clear, concise plan, I walk alongside my clients by offering specific recommendations and clear reasoning. Helping them feel informed, supported, and empowered to pursue their goals and feel confident about their financial future.

While I take great pride in my work, my true joy in life comes from my family. My incredible wife and I are blessed with twin daughters (born in 2012). A favorite saying, “I do not have a favorite place to visit—my favorite place becomes wherever I am with my family,” perfectly reflects my heart.

Our family is deeply involved at Salem Lutheran Church in Tomball, Texas, where we actively participate in Bible studies and various ministries that serve and support the local community. Faith plays a central role in our lives and guides both how we live and how I serve others professionally.

Outside of work, I enjoy sports and just about anything that gets me outdoors—including backpacking, scuba diving, and disc golf. Whether I’m working with clients, exploring the outdoors, or spending time with my family, I strive to live with intention, gratitude, and a servant’s heart.

I am a Financial Advisor with Thrivent and have been serving clients since 2024. My passion is helping individuals and families create personalized financial strategies that provide clarity and confidence. I specialize in comprehensive financial planning, retirement planning, estate planning, and tax-efficient wealth management.

Before joining Thrivent, I served five years in the United States Marine Corps, where I developed the discipline, leadership, and commitment to service that continue to guide my work today. After my military service, I spent three years as a Project Manager in residential development and two years performing due diligence and valuation analysis for venture capital firms. These experiences provided me with a strong foundation in strategic planning, financial analysis, and risk management.

I earned both my Bachelor’s degree in Business and MBA from Texas A&M University. My goal is to help clients understand how the different pieces of their financial lives fit together and create practical strategies to build, preserve, and transfer wealth efficiently. I believe that the best financial plans are built through education, transparency, and long-term relationships.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors fishing, camping, and exploring nature. I also enjoy spending time with my dog, Artemis, who often joins me on outdoor adventures. Whether working with clients or enjoying the outdoors, I strive to live with integrity, purpose, and a commitment to helping others achieve their goals.

I am a financial advisor and have been proud to work with Thrivent since 2013. I believe that effective financial planning begins with trust, active listening, and clear communication. I work with individuals and families to help them make thoughtful, confident decisions regarding retirement, investments, and long-term financial goals. My focus is on tax-efficient wealth management, both while preparing for retirement and throughout retirement.

I understand that financial decisions are rarely just about numbers—they are often tied to life transitions, personal priorities, and achieving confidence. To better serve my clients, I earned my BFA (Behavioral Financial Advisor) designation, which allows me to help clients make financial decisions that align with their values and what matters most to them. I take a personalized, hands-on approach with each client, emphasizing education and clarity so they can fully understand their options and feel confident in their financial plans. I enjoy helping clients navigate complex financial topics by breaking them down into practical, manageable steps. I value long-term relationships and believe the best outcomes come from ongoing collaboration and proactive planning as life evolves.

My husband, Rob, and I are raising our two children, Adeline and Brody. As a family, we stay busy cheering on Adeline at volleyball tournaments and supporting Brody on the football field. When we are not attending our children's activities, Rob and I enjoy hosting barbecues at home and finding fun, unique ways to spend time together as a family. I also enjoy baking, which provides a creative outlet that I love sharing with family and friends.

I have been a Financial Advisor with Thrivent since 2009 and specialize in investments strategies, life insurance, and retirement planning. I work with individuals, families, and small businesses with a focus on women (single, divorced, and widowed).

Helping people gain financial clarity is my passion. As a financial advisor I have the opportunity and responsibility to guide others on their financial journey and impact their future generations through financial education. Throughout my process, I learn about my clients and what’s important to them. The goal is to build a financial strategy based on each individual situation.

In my spare time, I enjoy travel, reading, baking, exercise and spending time with my family and grandson. My husband is a college track coach, so I also attend and help out at track meets.

I serve as the Office Manager and have worked alongside Alex Linder since 2018, supporting our team and clients by helping daily operations run smoothly and efficiently.

One of the most rewarding parts of my role is working directly with clients. Whether assisting with everyday account updates or more complex requests, I enjoy making the process simple, clear, and stress-free—providing responsive, attentive support with a personal touch. My goal is to create an experience where clients feel confident, informed, and genuinely cared for.

Each day brings new opportunities to support our clients and contribute to a team committed to integrity, fairness, and building financial confidence.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two boys, and our two dogs and cat. Guided by my Christian faith, I value being present for my family, dedicated in my work, and supportive of those around me. I stay active to prioritize my health and am a devoted Houston Astros fan, rarely missing a game throughout the season.
