Community participation

Interests

I love spending time with my wonderful family including my husband Tom, our daughters Samantha and Taylor, and our son Tommy. When I have a free moment, you’ll find me enjoying a round of golf with friends or family, or getting my hands dirty in the garden!

Honored to receive recognition

My team and I are committed to helping our clients achieve their financial goals, both today and tomorrow. Barron’s has recognized this dedication by including me on their 2022 Top 100 Women Financial Advisors list. I’m honored, and I’d like to thank my hard-working team and our loyal clients for making this recognition possible. I look forward to continuing our work together!
