Growing up working in California agriculture instilled in me the value of hard work and the importance of every dollar. This work ethic carried me to Oklahoma State University, where I earned a bachelor's degree in business management and a master's degree in agricultural economics. During my studies, I had the privilege of working as a research assistant, specializing in behavioral economics. My research explored the fascinating link between psychology and financial decision-making.Today, I'm proud to be a financial advisor and limited partner with Edward Jones.

Additionally, I am actively involved in the community, sponsoring 4H youth and serving as a member of the 5-Cities Men's Club and the South County Chamber of Commerce.
