From a young age, I was driven by entrepreneurship and the desire to build something lasting for future generations. I remember purchasing my first Certificate of Deposit at age nine—my earliest step into the world of finance. My first job, waiting tables, taught me the value of service, connection, and making a difference in people’s day-to-day lives. That passion led me to study insurance and financial services in college, where I discovered how deeply I enjoy interpreting financial matters and communicating complex ideas simply. This naturally evolved into founding Rise Insurance Ohio, where I specialize in helping clients gain peace of mind by demystifying insurance—a vital yet often underserved area in education and daily life. Today, I'm expanding that mission into business brokering—a role where I help business owners determine the value of their enterprises, connect with serious buyers, and guide them smoothly through the process of selling. Whether it's crunching numbers, crafting a marketing plan, or negotiating the right deal, my goal is the same: to empower clients with clarity, confidence, and the best possible outcome. Outside of work, I’m a proud wife and mother who believes in balancing ambition with family. I’m also an avid volleyballer—having coached for years and still hitting the court to play as often as possible.
