As a product analyst at Edward Jones, I leverage my eight years of financial services experience to provide goal-based financial advice and product management to clients and advisors. I work with a team of professionals to research, evaluate, and recommend investment products and solutions that align with the firm's philosophy and standards.I have a passion for problem-solving, achieving, and communicating, which I developed through my previous roles as a client solution specialist and a financial advisor at Edward Jones, as well as my education in marketing and entrepreneurship from the University of Florida and American University. I have also gained valuable insights from working in diverse sectors and organizations, such as the Walt Disney Company, Make-A-Wish, Department of Defense, and United States Congress.I enjoy learning new things, exploring new places, and expressing my creativity through various hobbies and interests, such as coffee, fun socks, cycling, traveling, houseplants, photography, music, and cooperative board games. I believe in the power of optimism, leadership, and change-making, and I strive to live by the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote, "The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be."
