To mark my 1-year anniversary with Thrivent, we hosted an event that perfectly combined two things I love: meaningful connections and the thrill of racing. ✅ We laughed, learned, and even played ✅ We toured a stunning collection of cars at Silo Car Conservancy ✅ We had fierce competition with RaceCraft1’s racing simulation Taking the leap to change careers was a big decision, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Helping people feel confident in their financial future brings me joy and purpose. I value the opportunity to build deep relationships with those I have the privilege to serve.
