Riding in the back seat of my mom’s car after school, with the radio quietly humming as we ran errands, is where I first stumbled upon Dave Ramsey. I didn’t realize it at the time, but hearing guest after guest shout “We’re debt free!” was planting the seeds of the life I’d one day pursue.

A few years later, those seeds had taken root. I left normal behind – graduating college without student loans, paying cash for my first car, and building a fully-funded emergency fund. Then the pandemic hit, and like so many others, I suddenly found myself without a job. Financially, I was secure thanks to the principles I’d learned, but a deeper question began to surface: “What is my purpose?”

That’s when it all clicked. The foundation had already been built. With a strong passion for budgeting, investing, and a deep-rooted Midwestern value of helping others, I decided to take a leap of faith and become a financial advisor.

Looking back, it was the best decision I ever made. I’ve found my calling in meeting people wherever they are on their financial journey – equipping them with the tools and confidence to take control of their money and their future. Helping others create a retirement plan that aligns with their goals and dreams has become more than just a career – it’s where I found my purpose.
