Who Am I?
I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and partner with the Pacific Northwest Consultants. I work with a variety of clients, specializing in retirement income planning, personalized financial planning, and working with both trusts and guardianships. I came to Thrivent in search of a meaningful career that combined my passion for creating long-term relationships and my enjoyment of complex analysis. I enjoy sharing education and relevant resources needed to create a meaningful and holistic dedicated financial plan. I am dedicated to supporting individuals and families to make informed decisions and gain confidence in their financial future.

Interest and Community Involvement
I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and I understand that it is important to plan for the future while choosing to live in the present. I love to travel, especially overseas, having been to 22 different countries at this time. I value learning from others, and I am passionate about learning from various cultures. In my free time, I like to spend time outdoors, woodworking, painting, and spending time with my young golden retriever.
I also find great meaning in supporting and volunteering with local community organizations to make a greater impact on the lives of others. I value Thrivent’s common goal of spreading generosity through taking action. I am passionate about connecting our clients with the Thrivent benefits that encourage us all to be more generous.

- Village Schools International
