As the Founder and President of Petersmark Financial Network, LTD. I work with individuals and families to help them visualize their goals and structure strategies to work toward them. I’m a graduate of Eastern Michigan University and have worked in the financial industry since 1992. Financial planning drew my attention as a career because it allowed me to follow my goal to help others and make a difference in their lives. I provide comprehensive strategies and completely personalized advice using the education and experience that qualifies me to handle a person’s financial situation.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two grown children. I’m also often playing golf, tennis or traveling. As a former NFL player, I am a member of the NFL Alumni Association and have served as treasurer for the Detroit Chapter of the NFL Alumni. I was inducted into the Eastern Michigan University Hall of Fame in 2014 and have served as President of the E-Gridiron Group at my alma mater, EMU. I’ve also been involved in my community as a coach for the Saline High School's varsity football team.

Since 2013, I’ve worked as an Executive Assistant with Petersmark Financial Network, LTD. Within my role, I’m responsible for compiling and organizing the data for our client’s comprehensive financial analysis. I’m also very involved in annual review meetings with our clients, as well as being engaged in daily client services and office management.  

I graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business. After graduating, I spent 12 years in project management for Mazda working as liaison for Mazda with Ford on their joint venture programs, before temporarily retiring to raise my children. 

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two children. I also volunteer regularly at our church and in the community, travel, play tennis and read.

I began working with Petersmark Financial Network, LTD. as an intern in 2018. Upon graduating from the University of Michigan, I spent two years in sales at Oracle in Boston, MA before deciding to work toward becoming a financial planner. 

Having now completed my internship, I work as the Client Services Assistant for PFN while I study for my licenses. Within my role, I provide support to our executive assistants, as well as a second point of contact for clients. I also attend client meetings with Brett. 

Now that I’m back in Michigan, I’m spending more time with my family, playing volleyball, traveling and baking. Having journeyed to the Mediterranean and Baltic, I’d like to expand my travels into Northern Europe’s coastal countries. I’m also a former Black Belt and was ranked 4th in the nation in 2014 for the female middleweight division.

I am a recent graduate from the University of Michigan, with a bachelor's degree in Communications.   After graduating in 2020, I spent a year doing business-to-business sales for an international company, learning valuable skills regarding client relationship management and schedule flexibility, as well as becoming accustomed to setting client meetings and travelling for business.  However, I soon realized that my interest was helping people at a more personal level.

To do this, I am working to complete my licensing to become a registered financial advisor, like my father Brett, and work to help people plan for their best life.  In the meantime, I am working to help on the administrative side of Petersmark Financial – scheduling, reporting, and handling client requests alongside Katie and Courtney.

I am driven to be a high achiever.  I enjoy doing activities that push me to improve myself and foster discipline; I’m a frequent gym-goer and I love to read authors ranging from Stephen King to Zig Ziglar. I take pride in working to meet others halfway and understand their point of view, with a history of world travel and cultural experience from around the globe.

I look forward to meeting you!
