Hello guys, my name is Rachel! I live in Slidell, Louisiana which is 25 minutes from New Orleans. I am married with one son who is in college studying to become a computer engineer and mathematician. My husband is a musician and on my free time, besides day trading, I am a professional home chef.
I got into the financial advising profession because of my love for finance and helping others. I did not come from a wealthy family and wanted to make sure I knew how to manage my money so I would not repeat my parents financial mistakes. I also am interested in investing and growing my money to make sure I can live debt free, go traveling, and am free to do my heart’s desires with out worrying about what is in my bank account and can I pay my bills. I am excited to share my life experiences with my clients, and also be an active listener to the needs of my clients so that I may assist them in fulfilling their dreams.

Get to Know Rachel

It is hard sometimes to manage your finances and everyone could use a good plan and have a support system.
What is a book or film that changed your life? Alice in Wonderland, it did not change my life but I love that book because it opens up a door of possibilities. Alice opens a door to a new world and has perils that she has to face. The same is in our daily lives.
