About me
From a young age, I felt a deep calling to help others, which naturally led me to pursue a career in nursing. Throughout my years as a bedside nurse, my dedication and work ethic did not go unnoticed. I was honored to receive the Nurse of the Year award and eventually advanced into a leadership position where I could mentor other healthcare professionals. However, working on the front lines during the pandemic and times of economic uncertainty opened my eyes to a different kind of suffering. I witnessed firsthand how financial hardship could devastate families and compromise their overall wellbeing. These experiences made me realize that true wellbeing extends beyond physical health to include financial security.
The turning point came when I worked with my own financial advisor to create a comprehensive financial plan. The process was transformative, it showed me how different my life and my parents' lives could have been with proper financial planning from an earlier age. I realized that the same passion I had for healing others could be channeled into healing financial stress and building security for others.
This inspired my transition from nursing to financial planning. My mission is to educate young professionals about the importance of starting their financial journey early. I believe that by helping people establish strong financial foundations at the beginning of their careers, I can empower them to achieve long-term success and peace of mind.
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.
