Description

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 at Edward Jones. We strive to make sure clients feel heard and that we understand their unique story. We also work to help clients understand the investment world in terms they can relate to.

I began my professional journey on the East Coast, immersing myself in the real estate industry while working alongside my mother’s company. In 1999, I relocated to Chicago and spent over a decade at the Chicago Board of Trade, where I honed my skills (and my elbows) in the corn pit, while simultaneously diving into electronic stock trading. During this time, I pursued my passion for education by obtaining a degree from DePaul University, focusing on entrepreneurship. After that, I spent over ten years in residential and commercial real estate. Along the way, I also dedicated myself to volunteering and co-founded a nonprofit aimed at supporting underserved youth.

As a mother of three, including a special needs child with complex medical needs requiring 24-hour care, I understand the demands of life and the importance of resilience. My experiences have shaped my ability to navigate challenges, adapt and persevere. I’m passionate about helping others ask the right questions — sometimes, the ones they may not even know to ask — and providing clarity in their financial journey.

I’m excited to bring my unique blend of professional experience and personal resilience to Edward Jones, where I can offer tailored solutions to help you achieve your financial aspirations. Life can be complex, and knowing you’re on the right path to securing your future is incredibly empowering. Whether you're navigating challenges or planning for the future, I’m here to guide you with clarity and confidence — think of me as your financial fairy godmother, helping you turn your dreams into achievable goals.

If you’re ready to take the next step toward achieving your financial goals and ensuring your future is in strong hands, I encourage you to reach out. Together, we can create a personalized plan to achieve your goals.
