When I’m not working with clients, you’ll likely find me on the sidelines cheering for my kids, grabbing coffee downtown, or spending time with family and friends. I’m also an active supporter of local organizations like JSC of Ed/Glen, Edwardsville Neighbors, and Partners for Pets.
As part of the fiduciary network for Front Office, a local financial planning firm, I’m committed to helping families make smart financial and real estate decisions. Community means everything to me — and I’m proud to give back to the place I call home.
