In 2016, my husband, Dr. Ian Rollins, and I relocated to Denver, CO, where we adopted our two children: Jeremiah and Simone. Two years later, I achieved my long-term goal of becoming a financial advisor at the firm I loved so dearly: Edward Jones.

Since 2007, I have helped Edward Jones grow by recruiting financial advisors, and have served my regions as a branch office administrator mentor and coordinator, newsletter editor and on-call coordinator. In 2018, I became a limited partner with the firm.

I am passionate about volunteering at Edward Jones and within our community. I serve as a board member on the Five Star Education Foundation. I have volunteered at the 2015 Tour de Ted, the 2015 Special Olympics and have been a foster parent since 2013. I am an avid reader and love to play piano, explore and travel.
