“Everyone has a unique relationship with money, and it is fascinating learning the reasons why." “When I look back at my childhood and my own relationship with money, it makes complete sense that I was drawn to the financial services industry. I grew up in a time when it was difficult for women to establish their own credit. I was raised by a single mother and watched her struggle to create an independent life. A compassionate banker named Mary ultimately helped my mother establish credit, which enabled her to create a better financial future. Watching Mary teach and guide my mother through something that was scary and difficult was appealing to me. I was hooked from that moment on!”I started working in the financial services industry in 1994 with a broker dealer in Phoenix. In 2004, I was recruited by a firm affiliated with SunAmerica Securities, currently known as SagePoint Financial. I have had the honor of being a long standing member of SagePoint’s Leaders Council* and previously served as Chairwoman on the firm’s Management Advisory Council Board."I take it seriously when someone entrusts me with their financial information and shares with me their dreams and fears." "Helping clients prepare for their future and educating them in a way that calms their fears, makes my job incredibly satisfying."I provide a holistic approach to financial planning by drawing from my knowledge and experience as a Certified Financial Fiduciary CFF® Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor CRPC®, Registered Financial Consultant RFC®. My husband and I have two children, Daniel and Andrea, and two granddaughters, Devyn and Selah. When I am not working, I love spending time with my family, traveling, and serving on the board of Kids In Focus a charitable organization very close to my heart.
