My Professional Background

After transitioning from a career in sports marketing, I entered the financial services industry in 2009 to pursue my passion for helping others achieve their goals. What I love most about my work is being there for my clients during their most important life moments—offering support, experience, and a sense of confidence as they navigate their financial paths. I feel fortunate to be a part of the Highland team where we are truly focused on helping clients, and each other, connect wealth to a life of meaning of purpose.

My Wealth Management Why

I became a financial advisor to empower women to take control of their financial futures. For too long, stereotypes have left women feeling undervalued and lacking confidence when it comes to money. By providing the support, knowledge, and tools they need, I help them focus on what matters most to them, giving them the freedom to live fully and embrace the life they want to lead.

My Personal Living Fully

I live in Bothell with my husband, Kirk, and our two kids. When I’m not supporting my clients, I’m often cheering on my kids at their athletic events, proudly backing Bothell High School, or catching a Seahawks game. Watching my family pursue their passions brings me so much joy. I also love spending quality time with family and friends, sharing laughter, great conversations, and delicious food and drinks.

My Heart for Impact

My heart for impact is rooted in my love for sports, my kids, and giving back to my community. I take pride in volunteering for youth sports—as a coach, an official, a board member, and more—while wholeheartedly supporting my children’s passions. Beyond the field, I’m a dedicated blood donor for Bloodworks Northwest, motivated by the knowledge that every donation can save lives. These efforts reflect my dedication to making a tangible difference in the lives of others, both on and off the court or field.
