As an Edward Jones financial advisor, my goal is to build deeply personal relationships with my clients - investing my time to understand your needs before you invest your money. Prior to joining Edward Jones, I proudly served twenty-three years in the healthcare industry where I was able to fulfill my desire to serve others in a caring and compassionate way; my education (bachelor's in chemistry
and master's in business administration) has honed my love of numbers and analysis. These aptitudes made a career as a financial advisor the perfect fit for me. I have been a client for over 20 years, and I have a deep trust in Edward Jones. My life's greatest joy is watching my two children thrive as they have grown into young adults. Air Force, and my daughter, Ripley, is advancing her education to pursue a career in law. When we have the luxury of spending time together, we love to laugh and joke, and we enjoy indoor/outdoor games, traveling and shopping. Being involved in the community is important to me. I serve as the Vice President of PORTA CUSD #202 Board of Education and the Vice Chair of the Abe Lincoln Division for IL Association of School Boards. I am a member of the Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce and IL Women in Leadership. Your Edward Jones branch team includes MaryBeth Jenkins, Senior Branch Office Administrator, and Amy McPhee, Branch Office Administrator.
