Throughout my life helping others has been an integral part of who I am. I chose a career in financial services because I believe I can make a difference in the lives of families in my community. Growing up in Seattle, I took a unique opportunity to attend Augustana University in South Dakota on a music and legacy scholarship. My grandmother graduated from Augustana with her teaching degree in 1933. I was privileged to attend a class reunion with her and while there weren't many left from her decade, it meant something special having multiple generations at the table. During my senior year my grandmother passed away. She left me a modest inheritance of $5,000. I went to Edward Jones as a new, young, small dollar investor. My financial advisor took me in no questions asked, no dollar amount too small. We put together plan for my inheritance holding it for something bigger in the future. This experience is what got me thinking about long term investing.My four years in South Dakota were a wealth of knowledge and diversified my understanding of our country. After college I decided to pursue higher education attaining my M.A. in Economics and my M.S. in Statistics from WSU. Post graduate school, I enjoyed an almost 15-year career in the insurance industry spanning health insurance to complex commercial insurance. My time in the finance and insurance industry reflect my planning, problem solving, critical thinking and analytical nature while not losing sight of the safety and security of those who need it most. Edward Jones values personal connection, making sense of a complex world and building trust. It's what separates Edward Jones Financial Advisors and why I joined the Edward Jones family. Together we'll help make sense of change and strategically plan for the future while doing so in a humanizing way.
