What got you interested in this field?
My first experience with investments was for an algebra project. We were assigned to research, select, track, and ‘trade’ stocks. Though my middle school math class portfolio was completely (and thankfully) artificial, I was fascinated. Ultimately, my studies and degree in business accounting proved less interesting to me and the concept of investments and working more directly with relationships was a more life-giving prospect. Financial advising perfectly connects my understanding and interest for the technical matters of finance with the regular opportunity to interact with people to form meaningful relationships.
