Before transitioning into Financial Advising, I was a middle school math and science teacher. I’ve always felt a strong sense of social responsibility and stewardship to my community. This has led me to putting down roots through volunteerism, mostly focusing on parenting, children, and food insecurity. Nature also roots me to my community and I do a lot of trail walking, bicycling, and gardening. Golf tends to be part of work/life for people in financial services and it turns out I’m a terrible golfer. But, it’s another way to be outdoors and connect with people, so I keep at it. I live with my husband, two teenagers, two cats, and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I dabble in all sorts of hobbies and am getting more interested in functional fitness and nutrition.
