Ever since the third grade, I knew I wanted to be a financial planner, following in the footsteps of my father who was also a CFP®. His unexpected passing transformed that childhood dream into a calling. I feel truly blessed to pursue this profession, especially since few people have the privilege of fulfilling a lifelong aspiration. Over the years, I have earned extensive education, credentials, and professional experience through respected institutions, including Certified Financial Planner® (CFP®), Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA®), and Certified Exit Planning Advisor® (CEPA®) designations. I also hold an MBA in Finance from the University of Minnesota and a B.S. in Finance and International Business from Iowa State University. My leadership includes serving two terms as President of the Financial Planning Association of Iowa. Now, twenty years after my father’s passing, I am honored to continue our family legacy through the resurrection of Conley Capital Management, upholding his values while fulfilling my passion for serving clients with integrity and true fiduciary care. Unlike many firms that impose rigid asset minimums or cookie-cutter models, Conley Capital Management recognizes that every financial journey looks different. As a serial entrepreneur myself, I understand the importance of reinvesting in one’s vision, which sometimes means not having large investment accounts ready to be managed. For this reason, we offer multiple client engagement options designed to provide long-term fiduciary guidance no matter your stage of life or circumstances.
