My profession provides the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of my clients, their families and my community.
I’m blessed to have the opportunity
to help so many people locally and nationwide. November will mark 29 years I have been in the financial industry. I’ve experienced many ups and downs with the markets and in
the lives of my clients. I’ve watched my clients work towards retirement and then enjoy their retirement. I’ve been lucky enough to become a part of their lives, sharing the birth of children and grandchildren to the passing of loved ones. Thank you to my clients, family and friends who fill my life with so much joy. God has truly blessed me.

What do you like best about what you do? Doing what you love is the most important aspect of one’s life. I love joining clients on a journey that really is one of the most important decisions of their lives. It really is an honor for them to choose me to witness that moment.
As a child, what did you dream
of becoming when you grew up? Dancing was my dream. I dreamt
of moving to New York, dancing on Broadway, or becoming a Rockette. I soon realized New York was not for me. I was not a good actress, and I was too short to be a Rockette.
What sets your business apart from others in the same field? I run my business with one thing in mind....you.
Tell us about one valuable lesson you learned along the way:
It is your life, enthusiastically accept the challenge. I look forward to
what every day brings. Positive thoughts, actions, and words bring forth the best results in life.
