learn more about maize financial

I'm a fifth-generation Kansan, raised on a farm near Manhattan. I am a graduate of Kansas State University and Washburn University School of Law, married to a computer geek, and proud mom of three.

​

I am active in my community and serve on the board of directors of Omni Circle Group and Capital City Equality Center, as well as teach financial literacy courses and organize for safe, affordable, accessible housing for all. I love watching hockey, knitting, reading, and slowly killing houseplants in my spare time.

I formed Maize Financial in 2021 amid a global pandemic, an uncertain economy, and rising inequality. While fully acknowledging the difficulty of the struggles we face, I also think these conditions provide a unique opportunity to offer a new kind of financial planning. It's possible to affordably serve the working and middle classes by keeping costs low and utilizing modern technology. Anyone can make an impact with their dollars, no matter their income or net worth.
