As a financial advisor and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional, I'm best positioned to serve clients who want to build a comprehensive financial strategy with a trusted professional who will partner with them throughout their lives. They value advice, appreciate the concierge service our branch team strives to provide, and take comfort in knowing they don't have to do it alone. They prefer a
n approach that allows our conversations to focus on who and what is most important to them. As we partner together, I often consult with my clients' CPAs and attorneys to help ensure that my recommendations align with theirs. While I follow an established process with each client, I consider your unique needs, relationship with money, values and feelings as we build the strategies that will help you reach your short- and long-term goals as comfortably and efficiently as possible. I'm a lover of people, deeply committed to building community connections. I'm a strong advocate for women and local businesses, an LGBTQ ally and take pride in providing a positive, inclusive atmosphere for my clients. Sharing education and inspiration mutually with clients on many topics is one of the most fulfilling and enjoyable aspects of my work. Within the firm, I've served in various leadership roles relating to diversity, equity and inclusion. In my community, I've volunteered with the Girl Scouts of Maine, Junior Achievement, and AARP Maine with the goal of promoting financial literacy, empowering young women to be confident leaders and combatting loneliness among senior citizens. Born and raised in Millinocket, I've lived in the Bangor Area since 1996. I met my husband Willis at the University of Maine. We live in Orono with our two daughters. In the winter, we both volunteer as coaches with our local youth Nordic ski program. In warmer times, we enjoy swimming and hosting back yard gatherings. Edward Jones is a financial-services firm dedicated to serving the needs of individual investors.
