My Story
My journey with Thrivent began in 2019 when I stepped away from a demanding career in family law to pursue a more meaningful path helping individuals and families achieve their financial goals. In 2020, I joined my father's financial practice, continuing a family legacy of guiding clients toward financial confidence, purposeful stewardship, and a work-optional lifestyle.
Following my father's retirement in 2022, I founded Abundance Advisor Group, where I built a practice centered on values-based financial guidance and helping clients align their finances with what matters most to them. Today, I am excited to bring that same passion and client-first approach to Coastal Financial Consultants in Savannah, Georgia, where I serve individuals, families, and business owners throughout the region.
I believe financial planning is about more than numbers. It's about helping people create the life they envision while making a positive impact on the people and causes they care about most.
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through tennis and golf, exploring all that coastal Georgia has to offer, and building meaningful connections within the Savannah community. As a former NCAA Division III athlete, I value discipline, teamwork, and lifelong learning, qualities that continue to influence both my personal and professional life.
Sharing My Passions
Giving back has always been an important part of my life. I am passionate about supporting organizations that strengthen families, create opportunities for children, and serve those in need. Throughout the years, I have been involved with a variety of charitable and community-focused organizations, and I continue to seek opportunities to make a positive impact through both service and generosity.
Whether through community involvement, volunteerism, or helping clients incorporate charitable giving into their financial plans, I believe that true abundance comes from using our resources to serve others. My goal is to help inspire and empower those around me to live generously and create lasting impact in their communities.
