My Thrivent Family
Financial advising has always been a calling for me. With family members involved in the Thrivent community—both my uncle and cousin—joining the organization felt like a natural step when I decided to pursue my passion for helping others plan for a secure future. What makes this journey even more special is that I now get to work alongside my cousin as my business partner. There’s a unique trust and sense of responsibility when you work with family—knowing that we share the same values, vision, and commitment to serving others. It’s a bond that strengthens our ability to help clients with integrity, purpose, and a genuine desire to make a difference in their lives. I’m truly proud to be part of a company whose values align so closely with my own, and even more grateful to walk this path with family by my side.
About Me
I was born and raised in Arizona, but spent a few formative years in Salem, Oregon, where I attended high school. Afterward, I returned to my Arizona roots, where I met my husband and built a life here. While Arizona will always feel like home, I’ve developed a deep love for the Pacific Northwest. We make it a point to visit Oregon each summer, cherishing the time we spend with family and creating lasting memories in the stunning natural beauty of the region.
When I’m not working, family is everything. My husband, a dedicated Fire Captain, and I make the most of our time together—whether that’s cheering on our son at the hockey rink (or traveling out of state for tournaments), enjoying quiet evenings solving puzzles with our daughter, or spending time with our two beloved golden retrievers. Life is full, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Community Involvement
One of the things I love most about working with Thrivent is their strong commitment to community involvement and generosity. Thrivent’s member benefits, like Action Teams, empower us to give back in meaningful ways. Through these opportunities, I’ve been able to build relationships and volunteer with incredible organizations like MOSAIC and Phoenix Rescue Mission. It’s truly rewarding to be part of a company that not only values community but actively supports and encourages its members to give back.
