My passion has always been to help others achieve their goals. I began my professional career working in the social service field. I helped people find new careers that gave them financial stability and hope for their future. A good friend of mine led me to Edward Jones. He was a financial advisor who loved his job. He talked about working with clients to help them achieve their goals, and that's when I knew this would be the perfect place for me. I became a financial advisor at Edward Jones in 2013. I completed my Accredited Asset Management Specialist™ or AAMS™ designation in 2022 to better serve my clients.I'm thrilled to collaborate with clients in the work of preparing for their financial future. My branch office administrator, Anna Logan, and I strive each day to provide the most ideal client experience. We are so fortunate to be able to serve the Decatur area and are eager to help more people.I take the time to get to know you and understand what's most important to you. Together, we carefully and thoughtfully work towards financial goals that range from preparing for or living in retirement, to sending a child to college or estate and legacy strategies. No two scenarios are the same, and neither are the approaches to mapping out the strategies for achieving those goals.On a personal note, I'm a mother of two boys and a beagle. My husband, Clint, has worked at Caterpillar for over 20 years. We're involved in wrestling and football with our youngest son. My oldest son attends Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville with a major in chemistry. In the past few years, I've been on the Board of Catholic Charities and Decatur Area Women's Networking. My family and I enjoy volunteering and helping people in the Decatur community.I welcome the opportunity to learn about you and your financial priorities. It all starts with a conversation – let's talk.
