Why I do what I do

Why I do what I do

I am so blessed to be able to make a living by helping others as well as their communities. Each day, I sit down and help people overcome financial concerns and obstacles. I also get to help my community with our fraternal programs and activities. It’s very rewarding to be able to do what I do.

I serve members in…

all of Wisconsin. I am located in Beaver Dam.

I can help you plan for life using a variety of tools, including…

life insurance, annuities, mutual funds and variable annuities.

I enjoy working with…

everyone.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

worked for a nonprofit organization where we helped people achieve their employment goals and get back on their feet.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

I am able to help people feel secure in their lives, both now and in their futures. And don't forget all the amazing fraternal events that allow me to give back to the community I live in.

The best part of my career is…

being able to help people reach their goals and creating new friendships every day.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

I walked out of a meeting, and the other person thanked me for helping them. They said they felt so much better knowing everyone would be taken care of if something were to happen to them.

My life outside of work

My family includes…

my husband, Dale, my daughter, Caitlyn and my son, Collin. We can't forget the dogs, Bandit and Daisey and the cats; Rascal, Cuddles and Bubba!

In my free time, you can find me…

helping around town with various activities, spending time with my family, working on "the building" (as we call it) that my husband and I own, and just enjoying life.

I’m passionate about…

helping make our community the best that it can be.

My greatest blessing is…

the life God has given me.

My local community impact

I have lived in my community…

almost my entire life (minus eight months while we were building).

What I like best about my community is…

how everyone always works so hard to make it the best place to live, work and play.

I’m a member of…

the Beaver Dam Area Chamber of Commerce, where I serve as chamber board member and ambassador, the Beaver Dam Area Community Foundation, where I am an advisory committee member, and the Rotary Lights Swan Park committee.

My favorite volunteer activities are…

Rotary Lights at Swan Park. It is a ton of work but looks so amazing when it is complete. Seeing how much the community enjoys the experience makes it all worth it.

It’s very important to me to support my community. My favorite Modern Woodmen programs are:

all of them! There are so many ways that our programs can do good! Matching Fund projects are an amazing way for us to give back to the organizations that make up a vital part of our community. And also our service projects, which allow us to help on a more personal basis.

My favorite memory from a fraternal event is…

getting to see how amazing our community members are at giving back. My members and I made a tree out of plywood that hangs outside my office during the winter months. It has clips for hats, mittens and gloves. All winter, it is stocked with items for anyone to take. It doesn't matter if you are young or old or in need of something to keep your hands or head warm, the tree has something for you. The tree has become a yearly tradition, and hats, mittens and gloves are dropped off all year long.

Also…

I love being a part of my community. It is neat to see how old buildings can be turned into something great and new buildings can bring new, exciting places to Beaver Dam!

How many of you can relate to this picture when it comes to your savings? Do you ever feel like you just save for your retirement but don't truly understand where your money is? I used to be you. When I started my first job out of high school they handed me the paperwork for my retirement and said, "Here you go, fill it out. We can't help you with it, just pick something." I don't want anyone to feel that way. If you need help, or just have some questions, please let me know, I am happy to teach you! Some employers allow me to come in during lunch, and before or after shift. Let me know if you would like me to reach out to your employer!
