1. Financial Associate, Ricp

   Nov 2015 — Present

   Life has a way of teaching us what truly matters. For me, it taught me through both joy and challenge—through being a wife and mother of three, and through facing cancer twice. Those experiences changed the way I see everything: time, relationships, faith, and especially money. Because when life feels uncertain, having a plan isn’t just about finances—it’s about peace, stability, and hope.For the past 11 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals and families find that same peace as a Financial Associate at Thrivent. My faith is at the center of who I am and how I serve. I believe everything we have is a blessing from God, and that being good stewards of those blessings is both a calling and a gift.What I love most about this work is helping clients connect their financial lives to their purpose. Whether they want to give more generously, retire with confidence, or simply know their family is protected, I help them align their money with what matters most. Money isn’t just numbers on a page—it’s a tool that, when managed intentionally, allows people to live out their faith and values in tangible ways.As a Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP®), I help clients prepare for life’s transitions and uncertainties. But beyond strategies and spreadsheets, my mission is simple: to empower people with clarity and confidence so they can live generously and fully—no matter what life brings.Because I’ve lived through seasons of uncertainty myself, I know firsthand that financial confidence isn’t about having everything go according to plan—it’s about knowing you have one.
