About

I was born and raised in Klamath Falls, OR, and graduated from Southern Oregon University with a degree in health & physical education with an emphasis in fitness management and minor studies in military science. I have always been passionate about health and well-being and giving back to the community in which I live.

Previous careers have led me through a journey of helping others and has been an integral part of who I am. I have provided quality care and services to reduce the complications of chronic disease; served to protect and enhance the sovereignty of the Klamath Tribes for the general well-being of tribal members; and assisted in transforming the health and well-being of the Klamath Basin by helping address chronic disease, healthcare costs and economic vitality. My successes provided opportunities to speak on behalf of the community for Robert Wood Johnson Foundation; Credit Builders Alliance; the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine; Oregon Office of Rural Health; and the Oregon Business Council.

My current community involvement includes Healthy Klamath Coalition; Klamath Promise; Friends of The Children; Oregon Community Foundation Southern; and Southern Oregon Education Service District. When not working or giving, I spend time with my husband, Ellsworth, and family. I enjoy hiking and fishing, focusing on wellness, wine tasting, creating art through fashion modeling, watching sports, live theater and concerts, reading biographies and being with friends who fuel my passions.

I have had the opportunity to serve and represent the community in a diverse number of ways and being an Edward Jones financial advisor inspires me as another way I can be of service. At Edward Jones, we strive to make sure clients feel heard, and that we understand their unique story. We also work to help clients understand the investment world in terms they can relate to. This is especially important to me because I believe education is the foundation which all decisions should be made, particularly when it comes to your financial future. Not every person was taught the importance of this - how it impacts current life situations and your future. I hope to provide that foundation and be the person to help those who never considered working with a financial advisor or those who thought financial stability was not possible.

Edward Jones is a financial service firm that focuses on providing services for individual investors. At Edward Jones, we see a future in which people can reach their goals and have greater impact on those around them. We also believe it starts with the relationships you build today. Edward Jones emphasizes building long-term, face-to-face relationships to help clients understand and navigate investment options effectively.
