How did you get started in your industry?
I first entered the financial industry at Merrill Lynch after graduation. I joined the insurance industry in 2002, and I founded Paramount Financial shortly after with the goal of helping clients meet their retirement-planning needs. I hold licenses in Arkansas, Texas, Florida and North Carolina. Both my team and I take great pride in evaluating and assessing a client’s specific situation and making recommendations that are in their best interest, and we do so with integrity and transparency.
What are you most proud of when it comes to your work?
Working together with my team to give unparalleled service while at the same time ensuring my clients have a bright retirement future, to which I believe everyone is entitled.
What is the key to your success?
At Paramount Financial, our sole focus is the client. Since 2007, we have been working with friends and neighbors throughout Arkansas and beyond while understanding the importance of priorities, family, estate preparation and tax strategies to ensure confidence in the future. We are rooted in the community and have developed our business by creating close, personal relationships with our clients. My team and I strive daily to provide an exceptional customer experience. It is not our goal to meet a client’s expectations, rather to exceed them.
What sets you apart from your competitors?
Most people have a financial advisor, an insurance agent, an accountant, and an attorney. However, scarce are the places that exist which contain all. At Paramount Financial, our team of professionals can offer the following products and services: retirement income strategies, asset protection, annuities, life insurance, tax preparation, long-term care strategies, trusts, probate, charitable giving, IRA legacy planning, as well as wealth management.
What’s your favorite quote?
“A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not in the branch but on its own wings. Always believe in yourself,” by Charlie Wardle.

I was born in upstate New York, grew up in Sherwood and attended the University of Arkansas, where I obtained my undergraduate degree and was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority. I currently reside in central Arkansas with my husband, Matt, and our two children, Abby Rhea and Lilly. I attend the Cathedral of St. Andrew and have been active in volunteer work throughout my community for many years, including the 20th Century Club, the American Heart Association, the Dorcas House, the Little Rock Compassion Center, the Arkansas FoodBank, the Junior League of North Little Rock and Girl Scouts of America (troop leader), as well as my involvement with the girls’ school. I love traveling, gardening, music and Razorback football.
