Why did I become a Financial Advisor?

From a young age, I have always found enjoyment in being able to help someone. Whether that was assisting a neighbor in around their home or helping a classmate understand our studies better. From an early age, my parents instilled within me a value of money and saving toward goals.

As I thought about what I wanted to do with my life, I kept coming back around to help those around me as a general theme for my life. In high school, I took my first accounting class that propelled me into the world of business for college. A professor at Eastern Illinois University helped me realize that Financial Planning was the area that my skillset fit into and would allow me to help more individuals and families. The conversation happened in 2009, and I have never looked back. 

Providing financial planning combines the aspects of my life that I loved from a young age, helping those around me, teaching the value of money, and setting achievable goals. I wake up every day, enjoying the work involved with providing Financial Advice to complicated financial situations in an effort to make a positive impact on those around me.
