Beyond Wealth

I once read that to find the work you were meant to do, you must satisfy three things: doing something you’re good at, feeling appreciated, and believing your work is making people’s lives better. I can truly say that as a financial planner and co-founder of Beyond Wealth, I have found my calling. My mission as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ is to empower my clients to take control of their financial lives by providing the guidance and education they need to make important financial decisions with confidence. I started my career in finance in 2005 and over the course of the last 15 years have been dedicated to continually learning everything I can about ways to help my clients achieve amazing things with their money. Early in my career, I was discouraged by the lack of engagement with our female clients. I decided I wanted to do something about it! I am passionate about working with female professionals, executives, and entrepreneurs, giving them the opportunity to fully engage with a trusted advisor who is as enthusiastic as they are about achieving their goals. Together with my partner, Andrew, we are committed to forging a long-lasting relationship with you and walking with you on your journey toward financial independence. When I’m not at the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Jon, and two kids, Alexa and Ethan. When we are not chauffeuring our children to sports and activities, my husband and I enjoy playing golf and love all forms of live entertainment—anything from rock concerts to Broadway musicals. I’m a major sports junky and especially love watching Oklahoma Sooner football along with our beloved Kanas City Chiefs. My lifelong dream is to live on the beach someday, but until then, I enjoy exploring new vacation destinations with my family whenever we can. If you’re looking for a wealth advisor in Kansas City who will work collaboratively with you and leaves you excited about the possibilities of your future, I’m your woman! Reach out to me anytime.

Family Investment Center

An experienced fee-only financial planner, I work with a strong team helping many families across the United States fulfill their dream of reaching financial independence. Our focus on middle and upper-middle class clients allows us to provide holistic, fiduciary advice and investment management on a fee-only basis. I enjoy providing advice through proven systems and processes to make money work efficiently and effectively for clients to be able to achieve their goals. Being the trusted resource for clients gives them confidence knowing they have a reliable and professional resource that they can access at any time which relieves the stress and burden that comes with making important financial decisions in their lives. I’ve been working professionally in personal financial planning for well over a decade now providing advice to hundreds of client families. After obtaining my undergraduate degree in business administration from Kansas State University I attained the FINRA series 7 and 66 security registrations, as well as the KS & MO Life, Accident, and Health Insurance Agent Licenses. I became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ in 2014 and have also been a registered tax return preparer since 2012. I feel that having a well-rounded background in personal finance and asset management allows me the ability to provide holistic fee-only financial planning advice to my clients.
