I sat on the other side of the table for ten years, working my way up from intern to Vice President in the Public Relations and Marketing industry. I was great at managing relationships with my clients, overseeing their budgets, analyzing costs and profitability outcomes, and consulting them through changes and conflicting priorities, but I felt my responsibilities lacked a depth of personal impact. As a Financial Advisor, I build meaningful long-term relationships, gain my client’s trust, and positively impact their lives through financial planning. I have grown a successful practice partnering with time-pressed professionals, families and small business owners in the Finance, Marketing, Logistics and Sales industries, as well as established 1099 independent contractors. In my experience, when people hit a certain level of success, there tend to be fewer hours in the day for them to create well thought out plans for their increasingly-important life goals. I thoroughly enjoy partnering with clients to provide guidance in helping them make informed decisions based on their priorities.
