Personal
Ally grew up outside of the Quad Cities and attended the University of Iowa. At Iowa, she double majored in Entrepreneurial Management and Finance. Throughout college, Ally participated in the Disney College program, cheered on the Iowa Hawkeye sports teams, and learned a ton in my business classes. It was during this time that she also found Northwestern Mutual.
Although she never planned to be a Financial Advisor, Ally fell in love with the career as it blended her entrepreneurial mindset and passion for finance. Throughout her career, she has advanced her knowledge and now is a Certified Financial Planner. A key value of hers is to make sure she is increasing her knowledge base to be the best for her clients. Today, Ally is passionate about empowering people financially and helping them achieve their goals quicker than they would on their own.
Outside of the office, Ally enjoys spending time with her husband Lane, and their Boykin Spaniel Ripp. She enjoys golfing, boating, and treating herself to an appetizer with friends and family. In early 2021, Ally also joined the board of Lead(h)er, a local nonprofit that fuels career and community engagement for women.
Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
