Growing up on Chicago's North Shore, first in Winnetka and then in Northfield, I developed an appreciation for community, for doing things well, and for the kind of relationships that form when people genuinely look out for each other. I attended Loyola Academy and went on to earn my degree in Communications from Northeastern Illinois University. The skills I built around communication and relationship management have turned out to be useful in every role I've held since.
My career before joining this team took some genuinely interesting turns. I spent years in luxury travel sales with Abercrombie & Kent, generating more than $20 million in sales before the pandemic reshaped that industry entirely. From there, I moved into a Director of Operations role at Elyssa's Mission, a nonprofit organization, where managing daily operations under real constraints taught me a great deal about efficiency, accountability, and what it actually takes to keep things running.
I came to financial services because of my father, whose career in this industry I've admired for as long as I can remember. Watching the difference his guidance made for the people he worked with made this feel like a natural next step. I'm currently working toward my own advisory licenses, and in the meantime, I focus on account management and client services, keeping the day-to-day running smoothly so that our advisors can stay focused on the work that matters most to our clients.
I live in Mount Prospect with my husband Chris, our four-year-old son Drew, and our newest addition, Luke. When I'm not at the office or chasing after the boys, I'm usually cooking something for a house full of people. Hosting is something I genuinely love, and our family and friends know to expect a full table whenever they come over. I'm a devoted Chicago Bears fan, and you'll find me at sporting events and concerts whenever the opportunity comes up. Our family is also active at St. Raymond's Catholic Church.
