Why I do what I do
I know everyone's financial path is unique. I help individuals and business owners plan for all stages of life, with a focus on retirement, estate and business planning. My team leads with education, and our mission is to help people transition with confidence.
I serve members in…
many areas, including Wisconsin and the Gulf Coast of Florida.
The best part of my career is…
knowing that I'm making a difference every day.
My family includes…
my Dan and our fur baby, Joey, and my two children, Devin and Gigi.
In my free time, you can find me…
glamping or at the lake!
I’m passionate about…
giving back, being grateful, and lifelong learning. In my opinion, the happiness you get out of life is in direct proportion to what you give!
My personal motto is…
Happiness is not by accident!
I’m a member of…
the Wauwatosa Crime Stoppers, Community Projects for Seniors, the #GirlBossesNetwork, and PowerConnectMKE.
My favorite volunteer activities are…
hands-on.
It’s very important to me to support my community. My favorite Modern Woodmen programs are:
our Final Wishes Resources. We work closely with attorneys to get your final wishes in order, and this benefit makes organizing, documenting and storing your wishes so easy.
We hold an annual educational event with coach and consultant Krista Morrissey for members in transition periods of their lives. We focus on the emotional side of retirement, which can be a real concern for many. It is an empowering workshop for all who attend. I can help with the financial accounts, and Krista comes to help with the emotional accounts. We can't wait to do it again for more members.

Fraternalism across state lines... Meet my Dad Ray, member and all around wonderful human, who has a passion for appreciating the law enforcement community. 10 years ago, he founded the Back the Badge Golf Outing as a Board Member for Band of Blue WI, helping them raise over $150,000 for the organization over those years (with some help from matching funds). Last year he gifted the template to the outing to dear friends of his that moved to the Quad Cities area and founded IL Quad Cities L.E.A.D. and earlier this week my sister, Tyah and I, traveled with him to help in their inaugural event. I'm so proud to call him Dad. He retired this year from the Band of Blue Board however, his legacy lives on with the outing and now, across state lines.
We can help you review your needs and plan for your financial future throughout life. (Learn more about Modern Woodmen's Planning for Life system and products.) Because Modern Woodmen is a fraternal financial services organization, we can also explore the benefits of being a member.
