A native Texan, I grew up in Mauriceville, a small town in Southeast Texas. I currently live in Driftwood with my husband Kirby and teenage son Jackson. We lived in Houston and Dallas before settling in the beautiful Texas hill country. Kirby and I got married in 2004. He was a coach and teacher for many years in the Katy and Royse City School Districts. Now he is a Special Education teacher at Dripping Springs High School, where Jackson also attends. We love our church, LifeFamily Dripping Springs, where we lead the Greeting Team and are involved in several ministries. We have never felt more connected to community as we do here.

Scott and Kaimey were one of the first families I met when my family moved to Austin in 2017. Our relationship continued to grow through connections at our kids’ school and church and has now evolved and grown to add professional work into the mix as all the cards fell into place for me to join the team at Avant Financial Advisors.

I’m new to Avant but not to managing money. My path to finance started in the retail industry, managing large teams and operations for brands and retailers in the US and Canada. I specialized in building client relationships and seamlessly translating vision into action for dynamic retail growth. With strong collaboration and partnerships, I was able to help companies attain strategic, financial, and operational objectives effectively. I’m excited to now take that same knowledge and passion to help people do the same with their personal financial goals. I’ll be supporting our client work and relationships while working toward obtaining my CFP^® certification.

I am an avid reader and find joy in expressing art and creativity in my home and style. Kirby is a huge sports fan and takes advantage of living in Austin with season tickets to UT football and baseball games. Jackson is active in Band, Honor Society, Hope Squad, and DS Collective at the high school. He plays trombone and bass guitar. We love to travel! With our time and money, we prioritize a curiosity for exploring new places and people different from us. These lifelong memories are priceless to our family. We also love food and are always trying new restaurants in Austin with friends. We’re a family who loves music, and you will find us attending as many live music events as possible!
