Passionate About...
Budgeting Debt Management Retirement Plans

I am a 24 year old, pursuing my CFP and working as a financial planner. I had the benefit of learning about what good financial decisions can do for you in my late teens and 20s, which I believe has set me up for success. I didn’t get that education growing up, and know many others don’t either. I am incredibly passionate that yes, people can learn to make good financial decisions at any point in life, but they should be given the opportunity to learn early in their careers/lives so the benefit can be compounded for longer. I have spent time educating my friends and family on their finances outside of work, and want to broaden my reach and grow the amount of people that I am able to help get set on the right foot earlier in life.

What is a social cause you feel passionately about, and why is it meaningful to you? Financial Literacy. I believe that understanding your personal finances can change your trajectory in life for the better, helping you make more informed decisions and leading you towards your dream life. The earlier in life this can be learned, the more it benefits the individual!
