I am a three-time recipient of the National Defense Wartime Service Medal for service during Desert Shield, Desert Storm, and Operation Iraqi Freedom, all this while earning a bachelor's degree in education and training. In 2006, I began investing and after retiring from the Navy in 2012, I began my career with Edward Jones Investments. My office is conveniently located in Perdido Key. My husband of over 20 years, Steve Wilmer, is a very highly sought after corporate trainer and motivational speaker with the Risk Advisor Institute, where he travels the country inspiring others. We have four children: Judah (16), Josiah (14), Joi (11) and Jayna (9), and our pet boxer, Ali. I enjoy all music types and my favorite place is the beach.
