Presented by:
Brette Ensz, Financial Advisor with Edward Jones
​
Brette's purpose has always centered on helping others. Whether she was mentoring and guiding students at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, directing community members in productions at the community theatre, or serving clients today as a financial advisor with Edward Jones, she is driven by understanding what matters most to people and helping them navigate their unique journeys.
While her career is an important part of her purpose, her most meaningful role is being a mom to her two boys, Elliott and Emory. She takes great pride and joy in guiding them as they grow, watching them explore new interests, and encouraging them as they discover their passions—whether that's playing soccer or, on occasion, simply learning to play nicely together.
