Financial Advisor

 

   

EXPERIENCE  

I am a Financial Advisor that has been working in the industry since 2018.  

 


WHAT MOTIVATED YOU TO BECOME A FINANCIAL ADVISOR?

I was an economics major in college and enjoyed the courses I took on the overall market and market trends.  Courses like these intrigued me about the economy which eventually led to a career in the financial services industry. 

 


WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT YOUR WORK?

I like meeting new clients, learning their goals and creating a plan.  Each client’s situation and goals are unique and each one requires a fresh perspective.  As a client’s goals evolve, plan adjustments can be realigned.  No two days are ever the same.

 


WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST SUCCESS IN THE PAST YEAR?

After joining R&R I took my series 65 exam and passed on the first attempt.  It was the first test I had taken in over 3 years, so I was excited to complete it.

 


HOW DO YOU HELP YOUR CUSTOMERS OVERCOME THEIR CHALLENGES?  

Having a thorough discussion and answering the client’s questions is the best way to help them understand and work through challenges.  Building a few scenarios and going through them with the client helps them understand their options and how to push through a challenging time.
