As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it is central to our working relationship to deeply invest my time in understanding what your financial goals are before you invest your money. Those goals may be personal or, as an entrepreneur, for your business.

My husband, Clark, and I are Rockford natives and we continue to make Rockford home for our family.

I attained a bachelor's degree from Bradley University and my MBA from Keller Graduate School of Management. I have been investing personally since high school when my economics teacher spent a portion of a semester on stocks and bonds. Imagine my parents' surprise when I came home and said I needed their help to open an investment account with my summer job money!

As a Chartered Retirement Plan Specialist (CRPS®) and having career experience administering employee benefit plans from inside companies, I can assist business owners and nonprofits in establishing a retirement program that attracts and retains quality employees.

As an Accredited Asset Management Specialist™ (AAMS®)*, I work hard to ensure my clients are invested properly for their personal goals and needs.

I am deeply committed to our community. I am a member of the Rockford Rotary Club. I serve on the boards of directors for Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful and the American Association of University Women. I am also a member of the League of Women Voters.

At Edward Jones, I provide highly personalized service. Relationships are key, and in my view, meeting face-to-face or virtually at my client's request builds strong relationships. I meet when it’s convenient for my clients because I recognize the challenging needs of their work and personal lives.
