I am also an Elder Planning Counselor (EPC).

I have been in the financial industry with Edward Jones for over a decade. As a financial advisor, I believe it is important to invest my time to understand what you are working towards before we even touch on investments. No two people are the same - so your financial goals and investment strategies should be as individual as you are.

My approach with my clients is simple and straightforward. We start with the basics of understanding you: what brings you in to see me, your unique story and life purpose, your family and attitude surrounding finances. By asking these questions, I can understand you and get a more complete picture of your life and where you want to go.

Once we have a plan in place for where you want to go, we can determine how you can get there by selecting the right investment products for you, creating personalized savings strategies, setting up insurance protection, working through estate considerations, transitioning wealth, etc. We then monitor your progress - making sure you stay on track for achieving your goals, determine if adjustments need to be made, and celebrate when your goals have been achieved.

I find that it is equally important that you get to know me, so I always ask what questions you have, and am open and honest about myself as an individual. I was born and raised in Saskatoon. My mother was a secretary in the Catholic School System, my father was a postal worker and a farmer in the Hafford (now Hanley) area. I am a mother to a five-year-old boy named Caleb who keeps me on my toes. I have six nieces, three sisters, and two big german-shepherd crosses who keep me busy throughout the year. I enjoy running along the river trails, gardening and spending time with my friends and family.

I love being part of people’s lives and having the opportunity to make a positive impact on their well-being. To me, this career is a lifestyle; my favorite part being that I can work with wonderful people as a financial guide and teacher - coaching you through life's transitions, challenges and milestones.

If my process resonates with you, call the office to speak with either Jackie or Susan to schedule an introduction over a cup coffee.

I look forward to partnering with you on your life's journey.
