My Story

I spent a decade working for a software company that provided software for investment firms. Along the way, I learned a lot about the financial industry, a lot that most people don't know. I also like technology and am often intrigued with how to the two mix. And as the mother of two kids, of course I am looking at college costs and how my kids will be able to graduate without mortgage-level debt.

How I Invest

I'm not ambitious enough to invest in individual stocks. All of my investments are in mutual funds that are handled through Ameriprise Investments.
