Ladies in Leadership
Strategic wealth designed for accomplished women.
You’ve built a career by leading with vision, making complex decisions, and managing substantial responsibility professionally and personally.
At this stage, your wealth should reflect not just what you’ve earned, but what you’re building next.
At Diamond Pointe Financial, we provide private, strategic financial planning services for women in leadership who want clarity, discretion, and a trusted advisor with the expertise to match their own.
This isn’t entry-level financial planning. It’s bespoke strategy for women who carry influence, manage complexity, and need their advisor to stay ten steps ahead.
Financial planning is one of the most personal and impactful ways to support others - it’s what inspired me to build Diamond Pointe Financial. This firm reflects my commitment to thoughtful guidance, genuine care, and a modern approach to financial strategy.
I believe everyone - regardless of wealth or background - deserves access to meaningful guidance and a clear, personalized plan. My work centers around helping women, families, and professionals feel more confident in their financial decision-making as they navigate life.
I began my financial services career with Bank of America in 2012, where I worked with individuals and families helping them explore strategies for building wealth, managing debt, and balancing a variety of financial goals. In 2017, I joined Edward Jones, where I earned my securities and insurance licenses. Those years of working closely with clients and building lasting relationships deepened my passion and ultimately led me to create a boutique firm with a more personalized and independent experience.
Originally from rural East Tennessee, I moved to Hickory during the 2008 financial crisis - an experience that shaped how I view financial resilience and the role advisors play in offering consistency and support through life’s transitions. I’ve always been drawn to people-first work, and that background taught me to listen well, lead with care, and help clients navigate complexity with grace.
I later earned the Accredited Asset Management Specialist® designation through Kaplan, completing advanced coursework in investment planning, insurance, estate strategies, and tax-efficient growth. I’ve built my expertise with intention, so I can better support the clients who place their trust in me.
Today, I live in the Hickory area with my husband, Monte. Our boys, Bradley and Riley, are both proud graduates of Appalachian State. We enjoy camping, traveling, and supporting charitable organizations that matter deeply to us.
