How I Help . . .

I entered the trust industry shortly after graduating from college, beginning my career as a receptionist at a local trust company. Over the years, I worked my way up by building strong, trusting relationships with clients. I discovered that one of my greatest strengths is helping people feel comfortable enough to share their concerns and fears. Once we identify what’s keeping them up at night, we can create a plan that gives them confidence and peace of mind. The most rewarding part of my work is seeing the sense of relief clients feel when they leave a meeting knowing they have a clear path forward.

"I have 50 years of experience in the trust world and enjoy the opportunity to work with individuals and families to create plans to help them throughout their lives and administering their estates."
