My desire to help and teach others is what led me to the financial services industry and Lake Michigan College. I began my career two decades ago in the consumer goods industry with Whirlpool Corporation. For nearly 20 years, I racked up airline miles and worked my way up the corporate ladder. From Texas to Florida to Michigan to Colorado, I earned promotions, put together high-performing teams, developed go-to-market strategies, and closed major deals. But something felt off. Living out of a suitcase and missing important moments in my kid's lives, wasn't what I wanted to do for the rest of my working-years so I took a leap of faith and quit my job. Leaving my corporate career sent me on a research frenzy into my retirement plan. I was fascinated and shortly thereafter, was offered a job in financial services. After studying for the rigorous exams, I couldn't be happier. I love teaching clients and helping them with major financial decisions. This is why I also spend time as an Adjunct Instructor. I enjoy teaching people of all ages how to plan for their future.
