God has gifted us all with unique skills and abilities, and if we don’t walk in the path that He has laid out for us, we’re going to miss out—and others will too.
That truth has guided me since my earliest days working at my family’s John Deere and Kubota dealership in northwest Florida. It was there that I first discovered my passion for serving people. What began as a simple job in a small-town business became the foundation for a calling that would unfold through divine open doors and moments of clarity.
From Admin to Advisor
My journey into financial advising wasn’t linear. I started as an administrative assistant, but God had other plans. Step by step, He led me into deeper stewardship work, eventually becoming a Certified Financial Planner and Certified Kingdom Advisor. Today, I serve clients at Blue Trust, helping them align their financial lives with biblical principles. God truly owns it all. He doesn’t just own the part that I’ve carved out for the tithe, but He owns every bit of our lives.
Women, Wealth, and Wisdom
As a woman in leadership in a male-dominated field, I’ve seen firsthand the power of being invited in. That’s why I helped develop Blue Trust’s Women’s Initiative—a space where women can grow confident in their finances, identity, purpose, and passions. We foster open dialogue, share stories, and build meaningful connections that bridge practical wealth management with purpose-driven living. There is power in women being invited in.
Faith and Finances in Marriage
Integrating faith and finances isn’t just a professional mission—it’s personal. My husband and I have learned to steward our resources together, walking through biblical wisdom and applying it to our everyday decisions. We’ve embraced the truth of Proverbs 16:9: “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”
The Giving Grid and Generous Parenting
One concept I love sharing with clients is the Giving Grid—a visual tool that helps families explore generosity beyond transactions. It’s a way to build a generous heart into our children, especially in today’s culture. It’s important to get away from the transactional mentality to figure out how we can impactfully build a generous heart into our children.
Encouraging Women to Lead
If you’re a professional woman considering starting your own initiative, my advice is simple: start with listening. Ask questions. Invite others in. And remember, God doesn’t actually need our money—it’s about our hearts and how He’s working inside of us.
What’s Next
I’m currently working on a book that weaves together themes of faith, identity, and finances—a resource designed to help women step boldly into the life God has for them. Because if women had someone to speak life or possibility into them, what could God do?
