As a wealth manager at Cutler, I am the primary point of contact serving a number of families. I use financial planning based on my clients' values to ensure each client’s portfolio is aligned with their unique goals.

I truly enjoy getting to know my clients. Understanding what they deem important is the key to creating a successful plan, so I like to connect regularly with each family I serve to make sure their plan keeps pace with their changing needs. I coordinate with other trusted Advisors (CPA’s, Attorneys, etc.) and rely on all of Cutler’s resources to ensure clients’ plans address all aspects of their financial lives.

I grew up in Norman, Oklahoma, home of the Sooners. After college, I began my career in finance as a high yield bond analyst for Dow Jones in Oklahoma City. Two years later, I moved to the Dow Jones home office in New York to work with trading professionals at major Wall Street brokerage houses. This was an action-packed environment, with most trading done over the phone. The trading desk was always the first place news would break.

After seven years, my husband and I decided to move to Seattle and try life on the West Coast, and we’ve never looked back. I spent a few years raising our two beautiful girls before returning to the financial services industry. This time, however, I wanted to work with individuals instead of big trading desks. I enjoy seeing the more personal side of the financial industry and the positive impact a good financial plan can bring to people’s lives.

Outside the office, I enjoy sailing, boating, and being near the water. However, my favorite pastime is cheering on our daughters at basketball, swimming, and water polo games (or chasing our dog, Axel).
