Growing up in the Midwest, I developed an appreciation for the wide open landscapes and friendly communities. I attended Kearney State College, now the University of Nebraska Kearney, where I pursued a degree in visual merchandising. Relocating to Colorado in 1993, I began working as an account specialist at a local bank, where I discovered my joy in helping and connecting with people. Opting to stay at home to raise our three children, during which I volunteered at their schools and our local church. Returning to the workforce, I served as an assistant to the CFO at a Denver-based marketing and advertising agency, expanding my role to include Office Manager and eventually Executive Assistant. Despite professional growth, I missed the personal touch of client care. Upon joining Schaefer Financial Management, I felt a profound connection to their mission of helping people, reigniting my passion for meaningful interactions.
