My favorite nonprofit to support is

Wheeler Mission because they provide critical Christian-centered programs and services for individuals in our community experiencing homelessness and those in need. For several years, I have supported the organization with financial donations and also collecting donated essential items such as clothing, toiletries and other basic necessities to improve quality of life for individuals and their families. 

What’s next for you? What can we expect to see over the next few years?

I hope to continue advancing opportunities for businesses to grow and succeed in the region, in particular in how I can excel in offering financial wellness in the workplace.  As a market leader, I will continue to put my passion to work as I look to collaborate with employers to help them reduce workforce financial stress for their employees. I also have my eye on becoming more involved as a volunteer with a few local non-profit organizations in our community.
