As a financial representative, I am driven by my passion to help individuals and families in the capital region community, women, and minority groups achieve financial stability and security. Growing up, I witnessed firsthand the struggles many people face when it comes to financial literacy and resources. Whether it's not having enough money for therapy, taking care of a sick family member, or simply being unable to make ends meet, I have seen the toll that financial insecurity can take on individuals and families.
This is why I am so passionate about working in the financial industry. I want to help bridge the gap for those who feel like they have nowhere else to turn. I strive to put my clients at ease and provide them with the resources and knowledge they need to make informed financial decisions.
Prior to becoming a financial representative, I worked in healthcare, where I assisted with phlebotomy, physical therapy, hospice care, and long-term care. This background has given me a unique perspective on the importance of financial stability, especially in times of crisis or illness.
I am proud to be a part of the Thoroughbred team, where I work alongside individuals who are equally passionate about their clients' well-being. Our team is made up of caring individuals who possess a true sense of integrity and a real understanding of what it means to provide exceptional personal service.
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and simply relaxing by the ocean and being in nature. I believe that a well-rounded, fulfilling life is an essential part of achieving financial stability, and I strive to encourage my clients to make time for the things they love.
