My Background
My path to financial services began in business ownership, where I spent over a decade leading and growing a successful franchise. That experience shaped my practical, relationship-driven approach to helping clients make confident financial decisions. Today, I serve as a Financial Services Professional and Registered Representative with NYLIFE Securities LLC, working closely with individuals and business owners to protect what they’ve built and plan for what’s next.
Highlights of my experience include:
Former small business owner (2010–2022), with firsthand experience in leadership and strategic solutions
Transitioned into insurance services in 2019, bringing real-world perspective to financial guidance
Named “Rookie of the Year” (Cincinnati Office, 2024), Executive Council Member (2025), & Life Case Award (2026) at New York Life
Active community leader, serving as Vice President of GiveHopePC and member of Cincinnati Rotary
I believe financial guidance is deeply personal. My work is rooted in trust, real conversation, and long-term relationships that support clarity and confidence at every stage of life and business.
Outside of the office, I’m married and the proud mom of two adult sons. I enjoy spending time outdoors—golfing, playing volleyball—and exploring Cincinnati’s local restaurants and breweries. I thrive on connection, whether it’s over a shared meal, a walk in nature, or a conversation that brings clarity to someone’s goals.
