Originally from Southern Illinois, I moved to Wisconsin in 2001 with my husband, David. We’ve been married for over 30 years and are proud parents of three adult children. In our free time, we enjoy fishing trips, live music, estate auctions, and caring for our two border collies, five chickens, and a collection of freshwater fish and mystery snails.

Growing up, I always admired my grandmother, who was a schoolteacher, and thought I might follow in her footsteps. While life took me through diverse experiences in photography, retail, operations, executive management, and car sales, one constant remained — my passion for helping people. That passion led me to New York Life in 2019, where I’ve found great fulfillment in educating clients and helping them make confident financial decisions aligned with their goals, dreams, and values.

Representing a Forbes Top 100 company allows me to offer clients trusted protection and financial guidance. My commitment to lifelong learning inspired me to earn my FSCP designation and, in 2025, become a licensed financial adviser with Eagle Strategies, LLC.

Community involvement is close to my heart. I’m proud to serve as the Volunteer for Good Coordinator for our New York Life General Office and to be an active member of the Lake Mills Rotary Club.

In 2025, I founded JMAC Financial Strategies, LLC, where I’m proud to offer a comprehensive suite of products and services through New York Life Insurance Company, NYLIFE Securities LLC, and Eagle Strategies LLC, as well as other carriers as needed. This allows me to provide personalized insurance and financial strategies designed to help my clients protect what matters most and build a confident financial future.
