Throughout my life, helping others has been an integral part of who I am. I chose a career in financial services because I believed I could make a difference in the lives of families in my community, and I joined Edward Jones because I discovered their core values aligned with mine. I have had an interest in finance from a young age, but it wasn’t until I took a personal finance course at the University of Central Florida that I realized I have a passion for it. I will never forget the professor going over time value of money calculations; showing us examples such as how to pay a mortgage off early, the components of a car loan, how compounding interest really works, and how to use credit cards without paying any interest. My passion for personal finance has continued through the years, leading me to earn my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification.I partner with my clients in a way that is approachable and open for people to express themselves, ask questions and learn. I also partner with your local professionals such as your tax specialist or estate attorney to ensure your finances are in check from top to bottom. I am passionate about delivering financial education to the community and helping my clients obtain their needs, wants and wishes. When I am not in the office, I am spending quality time with my family and my fiancé, Ian. I love to travel to new places, whether it's the Swiss Alps or checking out a new coffee shop the next town over. It's also important to me to serve my community, which I do through volunteer opportunities with Edward Jones and my church, and through being a board member of the UCF Alumni Council. I'm also a new golfer which has been a delight for any of my friends and family who've gotten to watch (and laugh at) me on the course.Here are some questions for you to consider: Have your plans for retirement changed lately?
