Prior to serving as a Financial Advisor, I worked in the field of education for 16 years, first as a classroom teacher in the Chandler Unified School District and then as a Director of Education at Sylvan Learning Center. My heart for learning and teaching has carried me from that career to this one. I have lived in the valley for over 30 years after moving around a lot in my childhood as the proud daughter of an US Airforce officer. My husband, Brian, and I were high school sweethearts and married in 1996. We have 2 boys, Dane and Beau, both in their 20s, and are now entering our empty nest years. We love to travel, cook together, spend time with our families and root on our beloved D-Backs.
