Find a CEA

I am also an Elder Planning Counselor (EPC).

Moving confidently toward the future you imagine begins with that first step: Deciding who you would like to walk alongside you; as a partner in your life's journey.

So, on top of making sure the advisor you choose is knowledgeable, trustworthy and experienced, it is important to feel like you can connect with them. You'll want to find someone you can communicate with, easily and candidly.

I encourage you to call the office for a quick 15-minute introduction so that we can decide whether we are a good fit to partner together.

Meeting with a financial advisor can often be intimidating, but my approach is designed to set you at ease. What's important is that you walk away feeling like you're working with someone who listens to you, understands your individual needs and goals, and can help you build a strategy to achieve those goals - by creating personalized savings strategies for your short- and long-term goals, selecting the right investment products for you, working through estate considerations and setting up insurance protection for you and your loved ones. I continuously monitor your progress to make sure you stay on track for achieving your goals, and determine if adjustments need to be made. Then I celebrate with you when those goals have been achieved.

A little about me:

I have been in the financial services industry, working with Edward Jones for over 15 years.

I have pursued additional professional industry certifications to help better serve my clients:
- Designated Financial Services Advisor, and
- Certified Executor Advisor® - specializing in estate planning and insurance services.

I was born and raised in Saskatoon. In my spare time I enjoy coaching my kids' sports teams, coffee with friends and family, running along the river trails, travelling and giving back to my community.

If my process resonates with you, call me today.
I look forward to partnering together on your life's journey.
