Why I get up in the morning

It isn’t difficult to get up every morning when you love what you do. It is a joy to work with a great, supportive team, focusing on projects that stimulate your mind and help others. The time I have spent with AFS has truly been enlightening, and I can’t wait to learn and grow even further. 

How I got here

I often joke about being the “black sheep” of the office. After earning my B.A. in English from the University of Mary Washington, I went on to work in the service industry, where I managed and promoted a membership program for a local Virginia winery. I joined AFS in March of 2014, beginning what I like to call my “real world” career. (A native of Bethesda, I didn’t mind the commute too much either). 

The transition from the wine industry to finance wasn’t as large of a leap as you might expect – instead of teaching people about wine, I’m working to help build awareness about savings and finances. I lead the Financial Wellness team at AFS and help to build educational programs that encourage everyone to take control of their finances today and into the future. 

What I do really well

I love working and collaborating with our team to develop customized programs and services for our clients. I am passionate about finding fresh, innovative ways to connect with employees and participants. I am dedicated to delivering consistent, professional, high-level support for our team and our clients, wherever my help may be needed.

Who I am really

The youngest of four, I love spending time with my family and solidifying my "favorite Aunt" status with my nieces and nephews. I also wasn’t able to stay away from the wine industry too long and can often be found on the weekends exploring the Virginia wine region with my wine-industry family. An avid traveler, I often have an upcoming trip planned, whether it’s a weekend trip to New York or an adventure abroad.

Like many people during the pandemic, I adopted a puppy – a Norwegian Elkhound named Brix. I developed a passion for dog training and in the Spring of 2021, I began volunteering and assisting the dog trainers at the non-profit organization, Your Dog’s Friend, in Rockville, MD.
