As the Chief Development Officer and a Certified Trainer, I specialize in the training and development of new financial advisors for Northwestern Mutual Utah. I oversee the operations of contract writing, training and development programs, as well as elevating advisors to reach their fullest potential! It is my job to build and oversee new advisor development and retention within the organization. I manage the planning department and oversee the independent contractors within the agency. Colleagues know me as creative, outgoing, and highly driven. My goal is to always be trusted to get things done and no one ever questions my work ethic or creativity. I am at my best when collaborating with others but can (and often do) work alone. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and graduated with honors at Utah State University.
