My parents were traveling musicians and I spent much of my childhood moving around Nebraska. In 1991, my family moved to David City where I met my husband, Leroy. I attended community college in Columbus, NE for Business Administration while working for my stepdad's construction company. I married one of my best friends from high school in 2005 and had the first of 2 sons in 2006.
Before launching the CFO on the Go model, I spent my career serving as a Chief Financial Officer designing and implementing financial, federally regulated inventory, quality management, and human resource systems for the construction and manufacturing industries. I love software and was recognized as a top Intuit Certified QuickBooks Trainer and Certified Intuit ProAdvisor in 2009 and 2018.
In 2016, after serving as the Director of Operations of a Veterinary Pharmaceutical Manufacturing company, I took the leap to full-time entrepreneur and never looked back. I also love Harry Potter, playing the outdoors and volunteering time to those in need.

I grew up in Garrison, Nebraska and graduated from David City High School. I spread my wings and moved to Columbus, where I became a young mother of two amazing daughters. Being inspired by my sister in law, I earned my Associate’s Degree in accounting from Central Community College. I had always wanted to further my education, and when my girls were a little older, I graduated from Bellevue University with my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration.
A few years later, I crossed another item off of my goal list and purchased my first home. When the opportunity arose, I took the chance and quit my full-time job to join Bell Solutions as a CFO on the Go, which was the best possible career choice I could have ever made! I am blessed to have my sister as both my mentor, and my boss. I am thankful to be a part of this team and the work we do!

I was born in Los Angeles, California and grew up in a big family with 8 kids at home. So, it wasn’t surprising that I wanted to travel after high school.... until I ended up in Tecumseh, Nebraska . It wasn’t long after that I found myself in Lincoln wanting something bigger and more fulfilling.
The birth of my first daughter Aspyn in 2009, changed my life. I went back to school PT at Southeast Community College for Business Administration, while working FT and raising a baby.
I meet my forever someone (Brandon) in 2012 and we settled in Bertrand, Nebraska in 2015 with two more kids added into the mix; Linkyn (boy) and Sawyer (girl) and a home of our own.
Continuing my education, I graduated from Northeast Community College with an AAS in Accounting. My heart was full but my strategic-on-the-go mind needed more. Not to mention my growing family was getting busier than ever.
Prior to working for Bell Solutions, I had the privilege of serving as the Business Manager for the Grand Generation Center for the City of Lexington, NE. I enjoyed my job, but my passion for numbers and problem solving had grown full force.
In the wake of COVID-19 I was forced to do what I wanted most, “stay home with my kids”. Emotionally this was great, financially I was scared.... until I chatted with Echo. I still feel like it’s a dream come true. I get to stay home with my kids, use the tools I have acquired to help small businesses, learn new things, grow, continue my education, and best of all live my best life!

CFO on the Go
I grew up in Bennet, NE and graduated from Palmyra High School. I went on to earn my Bachelor's in Business Management from Bellevue University.
I am married with 2 young kiddos and still reside in the amazing small community of Bennet.
I stay very busy between kids activities and coaching the Palmyra H.S. Cheer Team. I am also very active in our community and volunteer my time to support our many town events.
Family is the most important aspect of our lives and we live within minutes to almost our entire immediate and extended family and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Prior to joining Bell Solutions I owned and operated a FB/IG Ad business from home and enjoyed serving small businesses from all over the globe. In 2020 during the pandemic, I made that leap to entrepreneurship and quit my career in Medical Billing Management.
The flexibility to create a schedule that works for your family and all of their many needs is something I am forever grateful for. Even after closing my business, I have found that Bell Solutions continues to allow me those same benefits. Bell Solutions provides not only the flexibility my family needs, but also friendship, teamwork, and challenging opportunities to learn new and exciting things.
Forever Grateful to Our Team!!!
