As a financial advisor, what's most important to me is understanding what's most important to you. Connecting with you and getting to know your purpose is what truly drives me. Whether your purpose is family, finances, health, charity, etc., I want to know!I am blessed to be surrounded by the most inspiring individuals that have shaped me into who I am today. I met my husband, Nick, through a peacemaking non-profit. He now serves as a teacher in Volusia County. My mom also serves as a teacher and has been with Seminole County for 20 years. Like my husband and mom, I am passionate about education and helping others. I strive to provide financial literacy for my community.While I get my kind spirit from my mom, I get my work ethic and perseverance from my dad who grew up in India and moved to the U.S. in his twenties. He is now a financial advisor with Edward Jones, and I chose to follow in his footsteps. I deeply admire the way he has changed lives in the community, and I want to continue that legacy.I was raised in Winter Springs and then attended the University of Florida (GO GATORS!), receiving a Bachelor of Science in information systems. Returning to Central Florida was important to me because of my family and the great community I grew up in. To promote prosperity in my local community, I serve as the past president of the Casselberry Chamber of Commerce.I strongly believe in professional development. I have proudly earned the CRPS™ designation, and I am always looking for new ways to improve my knowledge and skill set to better serve my clients.When I am not out in the community, Nick and I enjoy traveling, indulging in world cuisine, practicing yoga, spending time with our rescue cats, Lilo and Miso, collecting plants and volunteering.My team, comprised of Kaitlin, Evonne and myself, are dedicated to truly understanding what is most important to you and your family.
