Please introduce me

Professional

Immediately after graduating from DePaul University in 2002, I decided that I wanted a career that would be meaningful and allow flexibility for me personally. I was attracted to the strength of Northwestern Mutual, along with the diversity of the Network's insurance and investment products and services. With the help of our network of specialists, I have consistently been able to deliver on my promise to provide expert guidance.

I also maintain a lifelong commitment to continuing education. I regularly attend seminars for continuing education and am an avid reader. In 2008, I received the Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) professional designation through The American College. In 2010, I completed the rigorous requirements to become a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), the recognized standard of excellence for personal financial planning.
