About me
I'm what you might call a "career-changer," meaning I didn't start my financial planning journey straight out of college. Instead, I went the long route and gained valuable experience in small business and the corporate world before landing here, and I'm glad I did. It helps me better understand my clients and the challenges they face and the opportunities they have.
I decided to become a financial advisor because there's so much I wish I had known earlier, and I didn't know who to turn to for help. I know that my work here is meaningful, life changing even, and I feel fulfilled knowing I'm helping my clients live better lives and have bigger impact for the people and causes most important to them.
I am committed to helping bridge the wealth gap, bringing tools and knowledge to those who haven't always had access. I strive to make sure my clients have a judgement free experience, where they can be vulnerable and honest and empowered to dream bigger.
I live outside of Denver, Colorado with my husband of 12 years, two adopted pups and two adopted cats. We moved here from Oklahoma City after spending time visiting for many years and falling in love with the mountains. When we aren't working, we enjoy immersing ourselves in the beauty of Colorado and beyond, camping, skiing, hiking, kayaking, snorkeling and diving. We also enjoy spending time with our many nieces and nephews, visiting family around the country and nurturing friendships. I can also sometimes be found volunteering for animal rescues and children's organizations, making crafts and drinking craft beer.
I attended Oklahoma State University and Oklahoma City Community College where I studied Biology and Psychology. I hold Series 7 and 63 investment licenses, as well as insurance licenses for life, disability, variable annuity, variable life and long term care.
Community Involvement
I have served on the boards for several animal rescue organizations, and volunteered with Big Brothers Big Sisters, Junior Achievement, Oklahoma and Texas food banks, and The Nature Conservancy. I enjoy volunteering to improve my community and work towards better lives for humans and animals.
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. This is a cause near and dear to my heart - my own sister lost a young child to cancer.
Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF) - fundraising
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.

Oliver and Friends Farm Sanctuary - event and animal care volunteer
Oliver and Friends rescues, rehabilitates, and offers lifelong homes to many animals, and occasionally places animals for private adoption to approved homes.

Junior Achievement - JA in a Day teacher
Junior Achievement USA is a nonprofit that inspires and prepares young people for success. Junior Achievement's proven lessons in financial literacy, work and career readiness, and entrepreneurship are shown to positively impact the lives of young people. These lessons align with national and state educational standards and are delivered to millions of students across the country with the help of our education partners and volunteers from the local community.

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.
