As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it’s important to invest my time in understanding what you’re working toward before you invest your money. It's also important to understand the level of risk you're comfortable accepting when investing, so we can balance it with the steps necessary to reach your long-term goals.At Edward Jones, we value personal relationships based on a deep understanding of your unique financial needs. We use a solutions-based approach tailored to your individual goals and provide exceptional service to everyone. A graduate of University of South Carolina (1992), I hold a Master of Business Administration degree and Bachelor of Science degree in business administration management from Francis Marion University (1985). I have been married to my husband, Paul, for 35 years. We currently reside in Ridgeway, SC, and have two daughters who both graduated from Clemson University. I am currently a board member of the Fairfield County Chamber of Commerce, an active member of the Blythewood Chamber of Commerce, and my husband and I frequently volunteer with our church. My branch office administrator, Valerie Kendrick, has nine years of experience and is dedicated to providing you with the highest level of service possible. Valerie supports the community by being involved in the Alzheimer's Association and volunteers for two different animal rescue organizations. Relationships are key, and in our view, meeting face to face builds strong relationships. We meet when it's convenient for our clients because we recognize the challenging needs of their businesses and their lives. I am ready to serve your financial needs today. Call our office to schedule your appointment to meet and discuss how we can plan for the next stages of your life. You can also follow me on Facebook and LinkedIn.
