As a Financial Planner, I work with women at pivotal points in their lives, when the choices in front of them carry real weight. Divorce or the loss of a spouse can change the life you thought you knew, leaving you to find your footing personally and financially while caring for yourself and your family. Success can bring a different kind of complexity as your career, business, and wealth grow and you begin thinking about what you want your money to make possible. I work with women in both places, bringing the financial expertise and personal support to help you make sense of where you are today and build a plan that aligns with where you want to go.

My mission is simple: to give you the clarity and confidence to enjoy your money. I believe there should be a healthy balance between preparing for a long future and living well today. Your financial plan should make room for the experiences you want to have, the people you want to share them with, and the daydreams you may not yet know are possible.

That belief is what led me to this profession. I knew early on that I wanted a career centered on helping people accomplish their goals, and I have always loved the combination of strategy and encouragement it takes to turn an idea into something achievable. I was also intentional about having a career that allowed me to put my own family first. That perspective has shaped the advisor I am today and how I serve my clients.

My planning process begins with learning your story, understanding your family dynamics, and identifying your priorities. During a divorce or after losing a spouse, we may start by organizing your finances and addressing immediate concerns. For professionals and business owners, the focus may be on putting growing wealth to work toward a larger purpose. From there, I model different scenarios so we can see how decisions involving income, investments, retirement, and your estate may affect one another and what different paths could mean over time. Together, we turn that analysis into a financial plan with a clear course of action. When appropriate, I also collaborate with your attorneys, accountants, and other professionals so the guidance you receive is coordinated rather than considered in isolation.

The numbers are only part of my role. Fear, uncertainty, and emotion can influence how we see our options, especially when circumstances shift unexpectedly. One of my strengths is listening for what may be behind a concern and helping you see it from another angle. That may mean bringing calm when everything feels urgent or challenging an assumption when something you want feels out of reach. Over time, I hope to become one of your first calls when something significant happens because you know you have someone in your corner who knows you well and is ready to help.

I earned my degree in Business Management from Manhattan Christian College and hold both the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® (CFP®) certification and Chartered Financial Consultant® (ChFC®) designation. These credentials represent extensive education across investments, retirement, insurance, estate planning, and other disciplines that inform the advice I provide.

Outside the office, my husband, Ben, and our son, Parker, are my highest priority. I am a marathon runner and love traveling to new places for races. I enjoy Pilates, yoga, golf, gardening, making healthy treats, spending time outside with my family, and cheering on Kansas State University athletics. I am also involved with Girls on the Run and the Daniel Keating Foundation, two organizations that give me the opportunity to stay connected and give back to my community I call home.
