​Prior to embracing financial wellness, my professional career spanned over two decades in various communications, marketing, and business development roles with: Microsoft, Disclosure Inc., Takeout Taxi, Inc., St. Thomas Church, and owning a marketing and graphic design firm, White Designs, Inc.

 

But it was during my early adult years that I spent navigating a very contentious divorce that left me barely working, a single mom, and filled with extreme anxiety and worry due to my lack of financial education and confidence. And it was then that I promised myself I'd never, ever go through something like that again.

 

So I pulled my boot straps up, started my own marketing and graphic design firm, did a lot of praying, and took it one day at a time. It was a few years later, when the stars finally aligned, that I met Jim, on a blind date. He was also a divorced parent and before we knew it we were headed down the aisle, getting married, blending families, and in 2009 welcomed twin baby boys to our bunch!

​

It wasn’t until the summer of 2020 when Jim and I had our “Aha” moment and realized we should join forces in business. By doing so, we create valuable educational opportunities to connect with women, help increase financial confidence and wellness, and provide access to reliable resources to make personal finance a priority.​ And so I took a leap of faith and enthusiastically joined Jim's financial planning practice with CREATIVE Financial Group.
