What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my deep passion for helping others and to my faith in Christ, who has guided me into the position I hold today. While I once believed I would serve for many years in the Marine Corps, an injury after two years led me onto a different life path—one that ultimately shaped who I am and how I serve today.
I also credit my success to my four children, who inspire me every day to work hard, remain resilient, and never give up in the face of adversity.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve ever received is to trust and believe that my story is already written. Grounded in one of my favorite verses from Philippians, this guidance has taught me to choose a perspective of gratitude and to be thankful in all things, regardless of the circumstances.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would encourage young women entering this industry to believe in their ability to make a meaningful difference. Get involved, give back, and don’t underestimate the impact of your compassion and commitment. Through my involvement with Teen Moms HOPE HOUSE, a nonprofit dedicated to helping young mothers achieve success while building careers and keeping their babies, I’ve seen firsthand how purpose-driven work can change lives—including your own.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges—and opportunities—in my field is helping clients overcome debt so they can live happier, more fulfilling lives free from financial stress. This work requires not only practical financial guidance but also empathy, encouragement, and a commitment to walking alongside clients as they work toward long-term stability and peace of mind.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me in both my work and personal life are presence and intentionality. I believe in being fully in the moment—whether I’m at work or at home—and giving 100 percent of my time and attention to what truly matters. I find deep fulfillment in helping my clients achieve financial success, just as I cherish time spent outdoors fishing, camping, and enjoying the mountains with my family.
