I’ve spent the better part of the last 8 years working in higher education as a College Advisor and for the past few years, I’ve had the want to break out and do something new. At the start of the year, I started creating educational videos and found an outlet I knew I wanted to continue to pursue formally.

Happy to say I’ve joined a great team at Northwestern Mutual working as a Financial Representative. I look forward to working and connecting with you soon!

Congratulations to the graduates of our September Financial Planning Academy!
We are excited to see the lasting impact you will have on your clients and your communities.

It’s been a year since I first launched and have been happy to see this quarantine hobby grow into a small business. I’ve transitioned back into the office so haven’t posted as much. Thanks for your support thus far. Here’s a shot from a previous pop-up event!

I was in 6th grade and just left Tuesday mass as I attended a catholic school. For better or worse, my teacher shared the news of what had just happened in New York. As you can imagine, we were terrified and hopeless. What could we do as kids? All I could think of for 6 agonizing hours would be: what if Chicago is next?

As I’ve become an adult, I’ve learned to understand the sacrifice our first responders made, the unfortunate deaths the occupants of the twin towers faced. I can’t imagine. We take today to remember their lives and the countless lives that were impacted that day.

Finished up this potting bed/gardening shelf made from reclaimed wood from what was once an old deck. These wood pieces were salvaged and repurposed into this beauty. Boy was it heavy!
