Let’s talk. Your future self will thank you.
Causes
Supporting and uplifting the LGBTQ+ community is a core value I carry into every aspect of my work. I’m proud to be involved with several local organizations that are creating meaningful change across Middle Tennessee. From advocating for equal rights through HRC Nashville, to promoting inclusive economic growth with the Tennessee Pride Chamber, to helping provide safe shelter through Nashville Launch Pad, I believe in showing up for community—because financial security and dignity should be accessible to everyone.
Human Rights Campaign - Nashville Steering Committee
The Human Rights Campaign and Human Rights Campaign Foundation fight to make equality, equity and liberation a reality for all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. As the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, we drive impact by inspiring, engaging and mobilizing millions of pro-equality voters and supporters to elect pro-equality leaders and to demand equity-based policies and legislation; changing hearts and minds through programming that increases understanding, visibility and support for the diverse LGBTQ+ community in all aspects of our identities; and transforming the institutions and systems that shape our everyday lives by advancing LGBTQ+ inclusive policies and practices in schools, workplaces, hospitals, communities and beyond.
Nashville Launch Pad
Nashville Launch Pad is a nonprofit organization that provides street-free, identity-affirming shelter for LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness in Middle Tennessee. Founded in response to the disproportionate rates of housing insecurity among LGBTQ+ young people, Launch Pad offers emergency shelter and support services in a safe, welcoming environment. The organization works to connect youth with long-term housing solutions, healthcare, mental health resources, and community support, with a focus on harm reduction and trauma-informed care.
Tennessee Pride Chamber
Tennessee Pride Chamber is a statewide organization dedicated to connecting, supporting, and promoting LGBTQ+ and allied businesses and professionals across Tennessee. Through advocacy, networking events, professional development, and supplier diversity initiatives, the Pride Chamber fosters inclusive economic growth and works to ensure that LGBTQ+ individuals have equal opportunities to thrive in the business community. The organization also partners with corporations and civic leaders to promote workplace equality and affirming business practices throughout the state.
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.
