I have lived in this rural Indiana area my whole life. I became a member of the Edward Jones family more than 27 years ago – the first few years as a client, and then 24 years ago, I began working as a branch office administrator for John Chamberlin, who I count among my friends. What initially drew me to Edward Jones as a client – the amount of personalized care that is given to each client – is what keeps me here today. The culture and environment Edward Jones creates for their clients and employees is like no place else. Now, as a financial advisor, I believe it's very important to invest my time in getting to know you and your family and what you're working toward before investing your money. Also important is understanding the level of risk you're comfortable accepting when investing, so we can balance the steps necessary to reach your long-term goals. My business is so much more than a job – it's a chance for me to fulfill my passion of helping to improve the lives of families and businesses in our community.I am blessed every day by the people I meet and work with, including my branch office administrators, Ali Kuhn and Thomas Popielski. Together, we strive to give our clients the most ideal experience and are eager to help in any way we can.On a personal note, my husband, Mike, and I have three grown children. Our daughter and her husband live in Fishers, IN, and have blessed us with two granddaughters and a grandson. We have two boys carving their way through the world professionally in Indianapolis and Chicago. We truly believe that every living creature should be treated with kindness, and every day is a gift not to be wasted. We raise honeybees and enjoy spending every minute we can with family and friends – preferably outside!At Edward Jones, we use an established process to help you build personalized strategies to reach your goals – that's our passion. Let us show you how we can make a difference.
