My family moved here in 1968 from Mississippi when my Dad was chosen to start up the brand new Interstate Paper Mill in Riceboro, GA. Mom and Dad also started a restaurant in Midway. I helped them run it while I was in school and after I graduated. My family worked in our community helping to establish our church and my Mom drove a school bus for a few years. My Mom and Dad worked very hard to make a great life for us here.
​
As a child, my brother and I enjoyed normal school activities as well as being active in our church. Our church involvement was a big part of my growing up. My parents encouraged us be outgoing, humble, and kind. They were great role models for us. The best lesson they taught was to do unto others as we would want done to us. I have tried to apply that in everything I do.

My son, Ryan was born in 2003 and is a great young man and is a blessing to my life. We have built a wonderful life here in Liberty County that focuses on family. I live in a great community with friends that are there when you need them.
In 1997 I was hired by Edward Jones. I knew nothing about the stock market but was willing to learn! In 2003 I was blessed to begin working with Matt Cardella. In 2020 we decided to make a move to Raymond James where we have been able to deepen our relationships with our clients by tailoring our services to help families, business owners and professionals.
​
Our clients are the best, but they are more than clients to us. I connect with each of them on different levels. I think of them all as family and I hope they consider us family as well. We are there for them in the good times and in the bad times. We get to see their families grow and then we are honored to help the next generation be financially confident. I really enjoy working with our retired clients. I have been fortunate to help them through their working years and to cheer them on into the next stage of life!

I love my work, I love my son and I am so happy in my life. My parents are no longer with us but they are always in my thoughts and it is because of them I am the person I am.
