What do you enjoy most about your work?
When I was first hired, the Augustine Financial logo with the words “Plan, Enjoy, Share” gave me peace of mind that I was in the right place. Working with people and getting to know them on a personal level is my favorite aspect of the job. I enjoy getting to be part of the team that helps clients save for college or retirement, buy their first or dream house, or any other financial goals they may have. Another positive is assisting with charitable giving – that’s where the Share part of the logo comes in. It brings me joy to hear stories of travel, bucket lists, or spending time with grandchildren. We understand that not everyone has the same financial blueprint – whether you’re starting from scratch, staying the course toward your retirement goals, or finding “life handing you lemons,” we’re here for you.
What are some of your hobbies outside of the office?
If we’re not in a gymnasium or at the ball diamond, our family enjoys spending time together with our dog Ellie, socializing with friends, following the Brewers, baking – especially at Christmas, and volunteering at our church outreach events or school’s annual golf outing fundraiser.
Where can we find you when you’re not working?
Most days, my husband, Justin, and I are transporting our son Jack and daughter Lauren to baseball, basketball, softball, or volleyball practices and games. They are growing up so fast and while the pace seems hectic at times, we are enjoying every minute of it. Guilty pleasure—you can also probably find me watching Hallmark murder mysteries with my dog Ellie.
Bucket list item?
Traveling – Hawaii, Alaska, Italy, Gulf Coast, and seeing a show on Broadway.
