WHY I BECAME A FINANCIAL ADVISOR

Growing up, my family always emphasized the importance of personal finances. My parents had to deal with a lot of financial hardship after my dad left the army in 2004. My mom was very good at budgeting and taught us those skills early on, and through this, she was able to get our family out of that situation. My parents now utilize a Financial Planner for their future goals, and I have seen firsthand the impact it has made on my family. In school, I began developing a passion for economics and social sciences. That, paired with my upbringing, led me into the financial field.  I wanted to go into planning because I wanted to be able to help people invest in their futures and not feel uncertain about their financial futures.
