I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ from central Illinois. Finance may be my career path, however, I have also enjoyed my experience in human resources and customer service. Understanding both the financial and human aspects of business and life give a more holistic view of the overall health of a household or an organization. It is my ultimate goal to to mix these two fields in order to strike a balance between the technical and the personal.Bluestem Financial Advisors is a firm with a mission to guide clients to a more fulfilling life. I am excited about developing our financial planning department to both serve clients in meaningful ways and manage the processing of information, with an overall goal to bring unity to human values and computative analysis. I am inspired by entrepreneurs and small business owners that harness their passions and "life-callings" to make a living. I am also inspired by businesses that incorporate social responsibility into their mission and business operations. I am also a big fan of inspiring quotes:"Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it." ~Maya Angelou"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." ~Henry David Thoreau
