Even as a young girl, I loved saving money and the feeling of independence that came along with it.

Now as a financial advisor, I am living out my passion for helping others grow wealth and gain confidence in their future.  

I grew up in a small town in upstate New York and graduated from Siena College with a bachelor’s degree in finance. I currently live in Albany, NY with my Goldendoodle, Jaxon (Jax), who loves meeting clients! I am the youngest of four and a very proud aunt. When I am not in the office, you can find me enjoying the outdoors with Jax, chasing around my nieces and nephews, taking a game of pickleball way too seriously, or enjoying a good book.

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:

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.
