Marketing Manager 

Why I get up in the morning

Each morning is a fresh start and getting up is pretty great when you know that going to work means you get to do what you love. Every day  is an opportunity to expand my knowledge, make new connections, and ultimately help make an impact in someone’s financial life.

How I got here

I graduated from Susquehanna University with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications Studies and a concentrated minor in Photography. I spent the summer after graduation searching for employment as most graduates do, and in September 2016, I joined the team. It’s been an incredible learning opportunity, and I consider myself so fortunate that I start work every day with a smile on my face. I also completed my Master's degree in Contemporary Communications at Notre Dame of Maryland University in 2024. 

What I do really well

My strength comes in my differences, and how I use my abilities to collaborate with others. Our small marketing team works closely with advisors taking their vast knowledge and finding creative ways to highlight it. I have enjoyed learning more about the financial industry, though my primary confidence resides with knowing how to get the right lighting in a photograph, or how to compose an engaging blog post. By blending my creative marketing background with our staff of experienced financial professionals, we are able to provide down-to-earth financial guidance for the everyday person.

Who I am really

I’m a proud native of Frederick, Maryland, where I live with my husband, Justin, and our three dogs, Keelie, Nya, and Eira. On a typical weekend, you’ll most likely find me at home watching my favorite TV show or exploring downtown Frederick in search of delicious restaurants.  

Volunteering has been a passion of mine since before I can remember. I used to work with a non-profit organization called The Arc, which provides assistance to those with physical or mental disabilities. Through The Arc, I spend time with one woman in particular that aspires to learn photography. Working with her is the perfect blend of my passions for photography and serving others. I am also a regular volunteer at the Weinberg Center and volunteer about three times a month. 

When I’m not volunteering you can find me living my life with the motto: “Adventure is out there”. Whether it’s going kayaking with friends or trying new food, I’m always ready to take a chance.
