About me
After graduating from Fort Hays State University with a degree in Organizational Leadership, I earned a master's degree in Higher Education Administration and spent the next decade working in Student Affairs Residential Life. During this time, I had the privilege of guiding college students through one of the most dynamic and transformative phases of their lives. Witnessing their growth and self-discovery deeply shaped my perspective on the world and my commitment to helping others. Throughout my years in higher education, I consistently noticed a gap between students' current financial decisions and their long-term financial health. This realization sparked my desire to make a difference in this area and led me to a new chapter in my career.
In the fall of 2022, my husband and I relocated to the Milwaukee area, where I began exploring new opportunities. In 2024, I discovered Northwestern Mutual and found a natural alignment between my passion for helping others and the significant financial gaps I had observed. This led me to pursue a career as a Financial Representative, where I now help individuals and families understand how to make their money work for them and achieve their financial goals with confidence. My mission is to provide clarity and guidance on personal finances, dismantling the uncertainty that many face and helping clients bring their financial dreams to life in a practical and achievable way.
Outside of my professional life, my husband and I enjoy traveling and exploring the U.S., with a goal of visiting all 50 states. I am originally from the beautiful state of Kansas; thus we cherish our time traveling the Midwest and spending time with friends and family.
My husband Jon and I were married in September of 2022. We had a great day.
Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.
How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
