I’ve been a Financial Advisor with Thrivent - Steel Valley Financial Group for over 10 years, helping individuals, families, and business owners take control of their financial lives with confidence and clarity. Whether it’s planning for retirement, managing investments, preparing for college expenses, protecting loved ones with life insurance, or creating a long-term financial strategy, I work closely with each client to develop a plan that reflects their values and goals.


What I enjoy most about this work is building strong, lasting relationships. I believe financial advice should be personal, not one-size-fits-all. That’s why I take the time to understand what matters most to my clients, so we can plan not just for where they are now, but for where they want to be in the future.

 

I am a proud wife and mom of two beautiful children. I’m also an active member of Grace Church, where faith and community play a big part in my life and the values I bring into my work.

    At Thrivent Steel Valley Financial Group, I am committed to helping individuals and families gain financial clarity and confidence through a foundation of faith, trust and service.


    I was raised in Wind Gap, where I still live today. As the oldest of three siblings, I’ve always taken pride in setting a positive example especially through my service in the United States Marine Corps. I served five years on active duty and was honorably discharged in September 2025. I enlisted because I wanted to challenge myself, serve a higher purpose, and protect those around me. That same mindset is what led me to Thrivent, where I now help families live with greater peace of mind.


    My connection to community is an essential part of who I am. My family and I attend Faith Family Fellowship, and we remain active in local service and volunteer work. I’m proud to bring that same dedication and care to my work with clients, supporting them through life’s challenges and helping them build secure, fulfilling futures.

        When you call, I'm the friendly voice that answers. I've been living in the Lehigh Valley area for seven years with my husband and two children. I'm passionate about being part of a dynamic company where I can help others protect their families while creating plans that address both present and future needs. Outside of work, I teach various exercise classes locally, which is a great way for me to stay active and connected with my community. I’m excited to be a part of an organization that encourages me to "Thrive with Purpose.

          In my role, I provide essential support to help keep our office running smoothly and efficiently. I have a genuine passion for event planning and love creating experiences that bring people together. Whether it’s a client gathering or a community-focused event, I aim to foster a positive atmosphere and strengthen relationships. I also enjoy incorporating charitable elements into each event, supporting local causes whenever I can.

          Outside of work, I’ve been happily married for 15 years and am a proud mom of three. I’m an active member of Grace Church and excited to be involved in its community outreach efforts. At the heart of everything I do, both professionally and personally, is a desire to make a meaningful, positive impact and create a welcoming space for others.
