I’m passionate about planning. Your journey is unique and I can provide you with the customized financial plan you need so that you can concentrate on your family, health, and career. My knowledge of plans at local companies, especially Nike and Intel, gives me in-depth information to help you coordinate your financial life. My process is a combination of my experience and your goals. Together, we will focus on all areas of your plan including retirement savings and income planning, concentrated stock positions, tax-efficient investing, insurance, estate planning, and college savings.
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor℠ with more than 15 years of experience, I pride myself in speaking plainly. I think educating you on your investments is vitally important for your confidence. I also believe it is imperative that your investments align with your values. For this reason, I work with traditional, alternative, and environmental and socially responsible ones when building your investment portfolio, if requested.
Not surprisingly, I use my planning skills outside of work to coordinate my children’s activities and travel itineraries for my family. I also enjoy breaking out of my Midwestern shell and exploring all the Pacific NW has to offer.

The Working Mother and SHOOK research ranking is based on an algorithm of qualitative and quantitative data. SHOOK Research considered wealth advisors who are mothers with at least one child living at home and under the age of 18 with a minimum 5 years of industry experience. Ranking algorithm is based on qualitative measures derived from telephone and in-person interviews and surveys: service models, investing process, client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations, etc.; and quantitative criteria, such as assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research LLC. Out of 19,616 nominations, 200 made the final list.
Bank Investment Consultant Top 100 - To compile the list, multiple variables were combined into one composite score. The six categories used were: (1) assets under management; (2) trailing-12 month production; (3) percentage increase in AUM from the previous year; (4) percentage increase in T-12 production; (5) amount of fee business; and (6) the ratio of production-per-AUM. The nominees were ranked by each of the six categories and then six different scores were calculated based on where they ranked. Those six scores were used to compile the final list.
