My first introduction to Edward Jones was as a client. I remember how overwhelmed I felt about my finances prior to meeting my financial advisor for the first time, but more importantly, I remember how confident I felt afterwards knowing that I had a plan to help me reach my financial goals and a financial advisor to guide me. This experience is what inspired me to join Edward Jones in 2017, and now, I have the privilege of working with individuals and families just like you on a daily basis.I am a proud alumnus of both The University of Georgia and Indiana University, and upon graduation, I began my career path in higher education. My passion for education is a central part of my work with my clients, and I make it my priority to ensure that clients remain informed not only about their own portfolio but also about broader market and economic trends.Outside of work, I am active in my community with the Loganville Chapter of the Rotary Club and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, as well as involvement at my local church, Church at The Grove. I was born and raised in this area, and I feel that it is my responsibility to contribute to the growth and development of this community that has been my home for so many years.What is most important to you?
