Personal
I have been married to my husband Chad for 15 years and we have three energetic boys (Dane, Beau, and Leo). We reside in the small village of Tolono, Illinois and we enjoy being an active, on-the-go sports family.
I graduated with a degree in psychology from the University of Illinois in 2003. While I am an alma mater of the Fighting Illini, I am a die hard Kansas City Chief fan.
Outside of spending time with my family, I am extremely determined about making an impact in my community of Central Illinois.
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.
Professional
I know that financial planning must be catered to a person's specific needs and goals. I work with clients to manage current situations while effectively planning for their visionary future. I am especially passionate about working in networks with women in executive roles and medical professionals. We work closely with the medical field and help our clients navigate their new financial decisions that occur when transitioning out of their residency and fellowship programs.

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.
