It’s easy to take a wrong turn on your journey to financial security. Sometimes we need help to stay on course. Consider me your financial GPS. You set the destination; I’ll help get you there.
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, I am dedicated to making this about you. I help you define goals, then map out ways to pursue them. Whether you are planning for or are in retirement, saving for college, managing taxes or insurance coverage, any financial questions you have, I can help you find answers.
Come visit me at Central Investment Advisors located Central Bank in Columbia or Boonville where I am honored to work with other knowledgeable financial service professionals. When I'm not at work, I spend as much time as I can with my grandchildren or on the family farm near Cairo, Missouri where I was raised. My husband, Tom, and I reside in Boonville, MO and have three grown daughters.
My passion is helping others whether it is my clients or participating in worthy causes.

Our mission is to provide clients and their families with a trusted advisor, offering the highest degree of professionalism, expertise and integrity while providing a holistic approach to financial planning.
Why Choose a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional?
Most people think all financial planners are “Certified,” but this isn’t true. Anyone can say they are a “financial planner”. Individuals who fulfill requirements established by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. have demonstrated a high level of competency, professionalism, and ethics. Only those financial advisors who have completed the rigorous education and testing requirements can claim the CFP® distinction.
What can you Expect Working with a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional?

CFP Board Rules of Conduct require CFP® Professionals to put your interests ahead of their own at all times and to provide their financial planning services as a “fiduciary.”

Your personal information is safeguarded and never shared with anyone without your prior written approval.

Fees and costs associated with any investment plan or product are disclosed to you prior to being charged or collected
Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (CFP Board) owns the CFP® certification mark, the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification mark, and the CFP® certification mark (with plaque design) logo in the United States, which it authorizes the use of by individuals who successfully complete CFP Board initial and ongoing certification requirements.
