I started Foundation Financial Wellness to create pathways for more people to take control of their financial lives and reduce the negative effects of bad personal financial health. All other areas of life are built on the foundation of our financial lives, and by reducing financial stress, it is easier to thrive in all other aspects of life. Employers and employees lose trillions of dollars a year to financial stress; Foundation Financial Wellness is here to stop that.

Working at UVU's Money Management Resource Center was one of the most transformative events of my entire life. During this time, I coached hundreds of college students through financial troubles. When I started at the MMRC, I had already realized the way we learn about money is broken. My work with college students here solidified my determination to solve the problem caused by the lack of financial knowledge prevalent in our society.

As an intern with BCJ Capital Management, I gained even deeper insight into the world of personal finance. In this position, I began to deeply understand how the needs of clients with high net worth is very different from the needs of the majority of people. While talking with prospective clients, I learned about the situation that many workers are facing, and realized I wanted to dedicate my life to helping people who might not normally be able to work with a financial advisor.

While working as an intern at TrueNorth Wealth, which is one of the best fee-only RIA's in the country, I learned the power a true mentor and coach can have for clients. Marty Watkins, the lead planner at TrueNorth, showed me the incredible work a true advisor can helps clients to do. I left this position knowing that I wanted to help people create change at the deepest level of who they are.
