Personal
As a native of Midwest City, Oklahoma Kyara grew up in close-knit, faith-filled family. Growing up, Kyara recalls her parents pushing her and her siblings to not only dream big but also to be proactive in doing what it takes to make dreams a reality. Kyara was the first in her extended family to go to college and obtain a degree. She attests all her success to her faith, family, and community of supporters. Currently she resides in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma with her husband Steve and dog Ava. Kyara joined Northwestern Mutual's Tulsa network office in January 2021. She says that serving as an advisor is more than a job. Kyara believes that she has been called to serve others by helping them build a stronger relationship with money and leave a legacy that they are proud of. When not working Kyara enjoys, serving in the community, with a good book, quality time with family and friends, traveling and discovering new people, food, and places with Steve.
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.
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.
Kyara is an Executive Board member for the Alpha Alpha Alpha Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. Within the chapter she serves as treasurer, fundraising chairman, and chairman for Target 3 of the sorority’s current international initiatives: Building Your Economic Legacy.

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.
