Ten years later, I found myself at the University of Oregon competing on a full-ride golf scholarship, and then went on to play professionally for a few years. I met my husband, Bruce, at the U of O, and we tied the knot in the summer of 2012. When it was time for us to settle down and build a family, we couldn't think of any place better then Eugene. We deciding to move back to the PNW and dedicate our lives to serving the wonderful people of our community. We both feel incredibly lucky for the opportunity to have a unique impact on people's lives through the work we do here at Edward Jones.When I am not in the office, you can most likely find me chasing around my 7-year-old daughter, Thea (pronounced "Thee-ah"), and 3-year-old son, Eli. Or you will find me spending time outdoors or enjoying a great glass of wine. I look forward to the opportunity to serve your financial needs!
