Prior to joining Edward Jones in 2006, I worked as a TV news anchor and reporter at Fox 6 in Milwaukee. For nearly nine years, I anchored the 5pm and 9pm weeknight newscasts. I also reported on a financial education series called "Money Saver." I loved helping viewers better understand how to spend and save wisely. The element that was missing for me was seeing who I was talking to. That prompted
a career change that allowed me to personally meet people to tailor an individual strategy to meet their changing needs and goals throughout their lives. I also had a lifelong desire to run my own business. Working at Edward Jones gave me the perfect opportunity to do both. I'm honored that Forbes magazine named me to the "Top Women Wealth Advisors Best-in-State" for Wisconsin in 2023. I ranked #6 in the survey. I was ranked #4 in the statewide survey by Forbes in 2022.*
I'm involved in leadership at Edward Jones and served for nearly eight years as the Wisconsin chair of the Grassroots Task Force. I worked with Wisconsin lawmakers in the US House and US Senate on behalf of Edward Jones clients. I traveled to Washington DC annually to present lawmakers with client concerns and interests. I also hold the AAMS™ designation. I'm married to Miles Aquino, whom I met in the newsroom at Fox 6. I later recruited him to work at Edward Jones as a financial advisor.
