I am thrilled to be part of a team surrounded by seasoned professionals who inspire me to learn and grow every day. My journey into the financial industry began unexpectedly while working at Chick-fil-A, where I taught myself how to trade and invest in stocks. This experience ignited my passion for finance and motivated me to pursue a career in this dynamic field.
Growing up in Southern California, family holidays were often spent at my grandparents' home, a couple of hours away. The anticipation of these trips was always exciting, and it was during one of these visits that my Grandpa introduced me to "Monopoly." I was just a child, around 7 or 8, when he taught me the ropes. I have a vivid memory of a game where I was winning, and my Grandpa, ever the strategist, proposed a trade for a monopoly. Feeling generous, I agreed, only to watch in shock as he revealed hidden money and bought hotels on the newly acquired properties. Despite losing that game, I learned valuable lessons about strategy and cunning, which I cherish to this day. My Grandpa's playful tactics sparked my interest in the relationship between money and the world, a passion that has only grown over time.
Outside of work, I find joy in lifting weights, an activity I've loved for years as it provides a great outlet. I also enjoy playing video games, a hobby that has stuck with me into adulthood, and I take pleasure in doing my nails. As I continue to develop my career within this company, I am motivated by the desire to advance and make meaningful contributions to the financial industry.
