Empowering my clients to reach their financial goals is my passion. I believe that the key to successful investing is to develop a long-term strategy and feel confident enough to stick with it until you've achieved your goals. That confidence is based on a full understanding of the strategy and trust in your financial advisor.To ensure that every solution I recommend is based on what is most important to you, I have to get to know you and understand where you are now and where you want to be. Fortunately, I love meeting new people and learning about their lives, their families, their interests and their dreams. I encourage my clients to ask questions and challenge assumptions. I want every client who leaves my office to know three things: why I am suggesting a specific strategy, what to expect from that strategy and how much it's going to cost.I was born in Greenwood, South Carolina, and lived in that area for most of my life. Between the two of us, my husband and I have four grown children and four adorable grandchildren, two boys and two girls. I graduated from Lander University in 2000 with a bachelor's degree in English. Prior to coming to work for Edward Jones, I worked as a teacher, a paralegal and a compliance specialist. For me, the role of financial advisor brings together the best aspects of all of my previous roles.Edward Jones has given me all the tools and support to make a real difference in the lives of my clients. I am so blessed to be able to serve the Seneca community, and I am eager to help more people. If you are looking for a financial advisor, I invite you to experience the Edward Jones difference: face-to-face meetings, convenient scheduling and personal relationships.
