About me
Hi! So glad you're visiting my page. My name is Frankie and I am thrilled you are here!
When I was entering high school my mom made the decision to become a Financial Advisor. I always looked at her amazed at what she accomplished as a single mother of four. Fast forward time and I had my own son, Baeden, at 19 and it was just the two of us for 10 years until I met my husband, Tyler... which lead to the addition of our two Golden Retriever pups, Ollie and Ellie, of whom, Garfield, our cat is still not too fond of.
I wanted to provide for my son and help people so I went into nursing. I have been a Registered Nurse for 9 years! Though I loved helping people and was climbing the ladder I wanted more for myself and my family. My mother had retired and I met with my first Northwestern Mutual advisor. My experience was unparalleled and lead me to the career path not only my mom had chosen but my younger brother had chosen as well. My advisor helped remove shame around my finances, create confidence in my plan and understand how to save for the future while still living for today.
Providing peace, confidence and excitement around finances is my mission. My purpose is renewed each time I am thanked for removing the shame around finances and spending habits; replacing it with actionable items they can feel good about.
I received Bachelors of Science in Nursing in 2014. In addition I am a clinically trained Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner since 2018 and continue to serve these patients today.
I am the only girl of 4 children. My younger brother Christian and I work together and we have so much fun! I play on a co-ed softball team in the summer. We attend Church together as a family as God called me to serve in this field and we could not do this life without him.
We live in the Tolono, IL which is about 5 miles from Philo, where I grew up. My husband was a pitcher for a college in South Carolina and our dream is to move there one day to escape the cold!
My Family
We have Garfield the big orange cat, who indeed loves lasagna, my son Baeden, husband Tyler and our two retrievers Ollie and Ellie who are not quite cut out to sit still when we want to take photos together.
However, Ollie and Ellie will gladly pose for their own photos.
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
Eastern Illinois Food Bank
Beads of Courage
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.
