My interest in the financial services industry began when I took a personal finance class in high school. The content was practical and engaging and I immediately recognized the value in having a holistic financial plan. During my senior year of college, I began listening to The Ramsey Show and soon realized that I too would like to advise others with "the heart of a teacher."Being raised in a blue-collar family instilled me with core values of grit and hard work. My most admirable qualities are being detail-oriented, empathetic, organized, and always striving for greatness. I apply these qualities to every facet of my life and I will forever be grateful for the role models that taught them to me.My parents would tell you that I was born talking, so naturally my passions include meeting new people and being active in the community. After business hours you will find me spending time with friends and family, listening to music/podcasts, exercising, or at Ford Field for a Detroit Lions game.
