Financial Advisor

Professional Experience

Why did you choose your profession?

Nearly every job I’ve held has been in the capacity of helping others. I began in the financial industry as a receptionist and client service representative. As I learned more about roles and responsibilities, I saw how well my strengths matched with the opportunities available. I pursued further professional development and obtained licenses 7 and 66 which refined my ability to help people at a more focused level. I enjoy being able to answer financial questions, talk through concerns, research topics, and help people reach their long-term goals.

What is your favorite thing about being part of the Hurlow team?

My favorite thing about being a part of the Hurlow Team is that there is camaraderie between team members. Each person in the firm is approachable and offers in-depth reasoning to questions or concerns. I am impressed by the unity and support offered and that we work together to solve issues.

What causes are you passionate about?

I am passionate about serving people and helping meet the needs of others. I am especially drawn to underprivileged people groups and demographics. Besides helping on a local level, I am also passionate about the impact of global organizations. I recognize the importance of sustainability and education to support people to meet their own needs and build the framework to move out of impoverished situations.

What do you love to do outside of work?

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my children, reading, putting together puzzles, lifting, and dancing. I love connecting with people through networking events, lunches, or casual get-togethers.

What is a fun fact about you?

I lived in Costa Rica, Mexico, and El Salvador for a total of two years during high school, while my parents completed a two-year humanitarian assignment.
