Making the process of planning for life's goals approachable rather than intimidating
About me
As a female financial representative, I am committed to accessibility and being a trusted help for individuals in all income brackets. Coming from a background in teaching, I have a passion for ensuring everyone has access to sound financial education and that people are given the resources to make personal, informed decisions through financial empowerment and education. You can expect a judgment-free, pressure-free environment with conversations that will be jargon-free and approachable. I can't wait to discuss getting you closer to your dreams!
I was born and raised in Southeast Alaska and have slowly moved warmer until I decided to stop here in beautiful Southern California. I live with my husband and adorable puppy dog, Roo in Long Beach but work with folks through the United States. As a former English teacher, I am an avid reader; I volunteer weekly at my local animal shelter, despite my husband's concerns I will start bringing more animals home; and I am obsessed with dark chocolate.
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. I also proudly volunteer at the local animal shelter Here are some of the organizations our team partners with:
Long Beach Animal Care Services
LBACS supports the people and animals of the Long Beach community through outreach, education, guidance, and support services.
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.
