At Edward Jones, we focus on serving the financial needs of individual investors of all ages and financial means.

I started my career with Edward Jones in 2017 and hold the ABFP™, AAMS™, CRPC™ and ADPA™ professional designations. Additionally, I hold my Series 7 License, Series 66 License, SIE and Health/Life Insurance Licenses for Pennsylvania and New York. My mother, Donna, who is also a financial advisor, showed me the value of time and gave me a better understanding of the investment world at a young age. She and my dad would invest my birthday money on my behalf. On my fifth birthday, I was moping around the house, and my mother asked me why I was so sad. I explained that I knew she was going to take the money in my birthday card. She then asked how much money I needed to make me happy. I expressed I wanted five dollars. She handed me a five-dollar bill, and I danced around the house. My parents sat me down to make sure I understood why they were doing what they were doing and the importance of creating goals. This is a story I share with my clients because I want them to see the value of time and that I make it a point to listen to what is most important to them.Being involved in the community where I live and building my business is extremely important to me. I am on the finance committee for the United Way of Bradford and the executive boards for the Rising Leaders of Bradford and the Tuna Valley Trail Association. I also serve on the advisory boards for the Downtown Bradford Revitalization Corporation and the Olean YMCA. I am the head swim coach for the Bradford/Olean YMCA and also help teach swimming with Special Olympics.In my free time, I enjoy swimming, golfing, playing tennis, playing pickleball, snow skiing, attending Penn State Football games and being around a lake.Whether you are new to investing or living in retirement, I would appreciate the opportunity to sit down with you and understand more about your current and future financial goals.
