About me
I started my career in Social Work and have always known I am meant to help people and contribute meaningfully to my community. On my journey in continuing to educate myself in a relentless pursuit of self discovery, I was inspired by a personal finance class as a part of my MBA program. Everyone should have a plan and feel good about it! After spending COVID years with Amazon ensuring people didn't go without needed pandemic essentials, I decided it was time to help people in a new way, and joined Northwestern Mutual.
Money can be hard to talk about and education and resources around how to do it right are not prevalent enough! I do this work because it is something I have wanted myself for a long time but didn't know where to go to get it. I'm fired up to reach as many people as possible and show them the power and the importance of this work, and how positively impactful it can be on their lives, their families lives, and our community.
Outside of work I have a passion for travel, adventure, and art, though at the moment I spend most of my free time at or near home with my family. My happy place is in the pottery studio making coffee mugs and ice cream bowls.
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.
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.
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.
