Sr. Financial Planner

Moline |Quad Cities

I serve small business owners, professionals, and retirees, helping them navigate the complexities of financial planning. My knowledge lies in financial planning, investment management and tax planning. I take pride in collaborating with our team to help achieve positive outcomes for our clients through every stage of their financial journey. My approach is rooted in thoughtful service, aiming to help others live a great life through sound financial strategies.

“Life is not about the destination, it’s about the journey”

I excel at financial problem solving, which is why I pursued a degree in Finance from the University of Illinois. From there I went on to work for non-profit firms because my heart was in serving others and I could interact directly with people. During that time I found that a career in financial planning aligns perfectly with my skills in financial analysis and my passion for working with people. I joined The Planning Center in 2007 and obtained my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification in 2012.
