As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I genuinely care about my clients. I want to know what's important to you. This is the first and most important step in our established process to develop a personalized strategy for you, while partnering together to achieve your financial goals. I came to Edward Jones in May 2018 because I wanted to do just that – help individual investors and small business owners work toward achieving their goals. It soon became very apparent to me that I absolutely loved helping my clients retire on their own terms, so I began studying to become a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor, CRPC®, a professional designation I have held since June 2021. It brings me joy to have even more tools in my toolbox to better serve my clients.Fifteen years ago, my husband and I moved to Fort Smith as newlywed "Arkansawyers" embarking on a new adventure together. Now we are proud to be raising our children here: all four native Razorbacks. When we are not in church, work or school, you will most likely find us on a road trip, camping in a nearby state park or just roasting up our family specialties: s'mores, shrimp kebabs and jalapeno poppers, on our backyard fire pit and campfire grill!Prior to joining Edward Jones, I worked locally for ArcBest and Girl Scouts Diamonds of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas and Mount Magazine councils. In 2002, I graduated summa cum laude from Kent State University, with a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration.
