This is my second professional life. My first was healthcare administration. I completed a Master in Health Administration and specialized in business development, physician services, risk management and regulatory administration. I looked at budgets, analyzed data, and helped departments work together. My husband became a physician which brought me even closer to the patient care side of healthcare. But life changes…constantly. I took a long detour to be a stay at home mom, then spent the last several years in the world of personal finance as a student and working alongside other financial planners. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) and hold the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor ™ designation. I am also a member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors, the XY Planning Network and the Financial Planning Association®. I started my own firm to provide you with an ongoing relationship so you can have a trusted partner to turn to for all your questions and concerns. Together, we can move forward to achieve your life goals. I live outside of Memphis, TN. I have two human kids and one furry one named Blue (our standard poodle and my running buddy). I read all the time. If not reading, I am running, cooking, eating, gardening, or playing the piano. My undergraduate degree is in psychology so the area of behavioral finance is fascinating to me. Why we do what we do, is a question that never gets old.
