I have always been driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, a trait I’ve carried since I was ten years old when I started taking on odd jobs like babysitting and car washing. That early need for independence and resourcefulness has shaped my entire career path. Today, I serve as the Director of Training and Program Development at Advance Funds Network, where I have spent the last five years driving organizational growth and efficiency. I’m a firm believer in the power of continuous learning, and I take a hands-on approach to leadership by fostering an environment where my team feels empowered to excel and contribute to our collective success.
Time in Industry:
Based out of:
To maintain a healthy balance between creativity and wellness, I dedicate my free time to a variety of active and artistic pursuits. I am a self-taught artist working with acrylics and oils, and I find a unique peace in gardening—a hobby that has taught me the resilience of nature, like how roses can surprisingly thrive in the harsh shifts of a desert climate. When I’m not tackling a DIY home improvement project, I stay active through pickleball or by planning my next adventure. I prefer the rugged exploration of hiking over a typical beach day, and Alaska is currently at the very top of my travel list.
My professional strengths lie in financial training, funding support, and the strategic development of high-performing teams. I specifically specialize in the transition of talent, training representatives to evolve into confident and effective account executives. I pride myself on my ability to educate and empower my colleagues, ensuring they have the specialized knowledge required to navigate their financial roles with precision and excellence.
I hold an Associate’s degree in Business, which provided the formal framework for my career in the corporate and financial sectors. However, I consider myself a lifelong student; I am constantly seeking out new skills and professional development opportunities to stay ahead of industry trends and refine my leadership capabilities.
