As a single mother, I understand the importance of stretching a dollar but also the need to prepare for the future. I was blessed to grow up in a farming community that offered support when times were challenging, and I've carried those lessons about hard work and helping others throughout my life. During my time at the University of Western Ontario and over the years since then, life has given me ample opportunities to use those lessons to pull myself up and move forward.

At a time when I was babysitting, house sitting, offering pet care and house cleaning in order to take care of my daughter and be there when she needed me, I found Edward Jones. In December 2012, I became an On Call Branch Office Administrator at Wernfrid Doll’s office, as well as supporting some other branches in the area. In 2015, with encouragement from my co-workers and my daughter, I moved to a full-time position in Port Hope. I enjoyed the work and the clients, but I was curious about the advisor role. After asking many questions about the ins and outs of planning and investing, my financial advisor suggested that I investigate becoming an advisor myself. I did some research and felt that it would be the next best step for me and my career. Seven years after joining the firm, I am officially a Financial Advisor. I enjoy the challenges of the work as well as partnering with clients to help them plan for their needs.

There will always be challenges in life, good times and bad, but with the right community, knowledge and advice, you can thrive in any situation. I would be honoured to partner with you to find the strategies you need to reach your financial goals.
