Ph.D. in Counseling & Educational Psychology

As a faculty member at Kansas State University and Fort Hays State University I have worked with thousands of parents and students in a wide range of activities. I’ve been involved with students’ progress from recruitment all they way through to their successful graduation. I know the ropes and can help you learn them too.

Former Assistant Dean of KSU's College of Business

At KSU I frequently worked with advisors and scholarships, which gave me a firm foundation for helping you and your student navigate the sometimes confusing waters of choosing the best career, best school for that chosen field, and the best way for you to pay for the your student’s education.

Financial Consultant for 10 years

These years allowed me an up close and personal view of the financial planning world, and I can use my experience to help you find solutions for your particular situation. I’m familiar with the entire portfolio of options, from IRA’s and 401(k)s, to the potential tax efficiency of private investment management. Financial planning is a personal process and I can help tailor a strategy to fit your needs.

Certified College Planning Specialist

In many cases, college planning is closely linked to retirement planning. While financial advisors have a strong knowledge base in retirement planning, they often lack the needed training and experience in the field of college planning. I have both and can put this broad background of experience, training and knowledge to work for you.

Mother

At 5’4” I am the mother of three strapping sons at 6’5”, 6’4” and 6’3”. All three were athletes and two of them became student-athletes in college. Did you know that even if your child is a student-athlete only 10 percent get a full-ride scholarship? As a parent myself, I know the challenges of putting children through college, and how to do that without disrupting my own quality of life. While we all want the best for our children and for their futures, we must also consider our own future.
