Why I do what I do

Why I do what I do

to help people be financially secure and ready for life's "what ifs".

I serve members in…

Iowa, Illinois and Missouri.

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

life insurance and annuities.

I enjoy working with…

young families and those approaching retirement.

I attended…

Iowa State University

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

was in hospitality and restaurant management for 18 years.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

of fraternalism. The feeling of community among our members and fellow reps is unique. It's a great feeling making an impact together.

The best part of my career is…

fraternalism - I feel like I'm a part of something greater than myself, which is so rewarding. I enjoy making a difference in people's lives.

“Modern Woodmen membership is about relationships. We take time to get to know you and your needs. Get to know me and how we might connect.”

My life outside of work

In my free time, you can find me…

I’m passionate about…

raising my little humans!

My greatest blessing is…

my family.

My local community impact

I have lived in my community…

for over 5 years.

What I like best about my community is…

how tight knit we are here. It's so refreshing, especially coming from a larger city like Minneapolis.

I’m a member of…

my local chamber of commerce.

My favorite volunteer activities are…

anything outside - planting trees, park cleanups, and so much more!

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

Matching Fund projects to raise money for those in need.

My favorite memory from a fraternal event is…

seeing how many people turned up for Wreaths Across America at the Rock Island Arsenal despite the bitter cold.

Ready to declutter your finances? Here are five tips to spring clean your budget. 1. Conduct your own expense audit. Go through the last one to three months of expenses and locate potential wasteful spending. 2. Cancel or reduce subscriptions. Ask yourself if there are any you can downgrade. 3. Set spending caps. Set limits on a few categories – like eating out, shopping or coffee runs – to remain flexible. 4. Map out irregular expenses. Put money aside for things like car repairs, gifts, home maintenance and travel to prepare for the future. 5. Set one budget goal per month. Examples include reducing food delivery by $80, paying off a bill or building an emergency cushion.
