My bond with my hometown community is important to me. At Edward Jones, we strive to make sure clients feel heard, and that we understand their unique story. We also work to help clients understand the investment world in terms they can relate to. My previous career was in the defense contractor industry at L3Harris for 12.5 years. I started out as an individual contributor supporting the financia

l analysis, forecasting, budgeting and bidding efforts for the Logistics department and worked my way up to managing the financial teams for the Operations, Planning and Logistics departments. I attended the University of Texas at Dallas where I received my Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Information Management. Later, I attended Texas A&M University at Commerce where I received my Master of Science in Finance. I am a mother to one beautiful daughter, who keeps me busy and on my toes. I also have two fur babies who love to go wherever they can with my daughter and me. Most of our family is within a couple of hours from us, so we enjoy getting to spend time with them. I am involved in Mother's Culture Club, and love being able to give back to the community through this organization. I enjoy the occasional trivia and bingo night with neighbors and friends. I also enjoy reading a good thriller/suspense book in my spare time. My passion is helping others and leaving people better off than where they started. My goal is to provide exceptional service and advice, no matter where individuals are at in their financial journey. Let's get in contact to discuss what's most important to you.
