My Story

Money always felt like a black box. I grew up hearing bits of advice about taxes, saving, giving, and credit cards, but nothing was ever clear. When I got the paycheck from my first full-time job, I remember thinking, Where did my money go? What do any of these deductions mean? I figured I’d just always be guessing.

Then I opened a Mint.com account in my early 20s. (We miss you, Mint.) For the first time, I could actually see what was coming in, what was going out, and where it all went. Suddenly, I wasn’t just hoping things would work out – I was making decisions with real information. Could I afford to move? Donate? Go on that horseback trip I’d dreamed about? Open a Roth IRA? I had answers. The freedom I found in “giving every dollar a job” was life-changing.

That moment of clarity lit a fire in me. I went on to pursue my CFP® certification and build a career around helping others feel that same sense of ease and understanding with their own money. Over the years, I’ve guided people through uncertainty and change, helped them set bold goals, and created plans that reflect their values. Today, I get to support my clients in building lives filled with meaning without the money fog. 

That’s what I love most about this work. Watching someone move from stress to clarity. From confusion to confidence. From feeling behind to feeling ready. Because money isn’t just solvable; it can be a powerful tool for joy, generosity, and peace of mind.

How I’m expanding what’s possible with money

Giving intentionally to causes and organizations I’m inspired by. Encouraging young people on how to get organized and confident around their finances. Brainstorming how I can be both a farmer and a financial planner.

Outside of work, my passions include

I love to read. I’m never without a good book. My husband and I love to get outside on the weekends for a day trip, bike ride, or hike. I also love farms and daydreaming about the farm life.
