I graduated with a Bachelor of Management Degree from the University of Lethbridge in 2005. After completing an International Exchange in Guadalajara Mexico with my then ten year old son we moved back to Calgary so I could start my career. At that time my goal was to work with an international company as a liaison to an over seas division. However, as life would have it I met my soon to be husband, we had a baby, and then the down turn of 2008 happened so I found myself working for Alberta Health Services as a Senior Administrative Assistant. I loved working at the Children's Hospital so much that I stayed for eight years. It was exciting to see the advancements that my physician's were working so hard on.

Although working with physician's was exciting, I was looking for a more challenging career with the potential for growth. This is when I was introduced to Derek Lalonde (Financial Advisor with Edward Jones). He interviewed me for the Branch Office Administrator position and I left feeling refreshed - this is where I wanted to be as the company culture, values and the potential for growth were in line with what I wanted for my life and my family. I worked as a Branch Office Administrator for two years and in February of 2019 I decided to make the move to become a Financial Advisor.

It is very important to me to be a part of our growing community, being close to my family and building my life long career. With the team here at Edward Jones I am able to focus on what is most important to me and the clients I serve. I look forward to serving you and others for the remainder of my career and am looking forward to building our relationship.

Kind Regards,
