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.

Long Term Care Specialist
I am a proud member of the sandwich generation. While juggling motherhood, career, and a sick parent for 3 years, I saw first-hand the importance of long term care planning. I am committed to helping individuals and couples think through how a need for extended care would impact their lives and those of their families so that together we can protect family relationships and financial security.
