Growing up working in my family’s grocery store, I had the opportunity to interact with the public at an early age. Before I could run the cash register, my father required me to learn and recognize all our customers by name. I learned to treat each customer with personal attention and enjoyed getting to know their “stories.”
I moved to Salt Lake City to pursue my education and to follow in my father’s footsteps by obtaining a B.S. in Finance from the University of Utah. It seemed like the best option to allow me to work doing what I enjoy- playing with money and talking to people.
I began my practice in June 2000 after completing my M.B.A. Several months later, my husband, Scott, and I returned home to Price to build our businesses and family.
I still enjoy learning clients’ stories and pride myself in giving each client personal attention and sound financial advice. Staying current on the many facets of financial planning is essential to delivering that level of advice and is why I obtained the Certified Financial Planner® designation.
When I’m not working, Scott and I are chasing our daughter around on softball fields. If we get a weekend off, you might find me paddle boarding, golfing, or cheering on my Utes.
