49% Very HighI became a financial advisor because the work, at its core, is about impact — being the person in the room when a family makes a decision that shapes the next twenty years of their life. I first saw that up close as a Branch Office Administrator at Edward Jones during college at the University of Arizona, where the day-to-day made it clear the job wasn't really about markets or products — it was about translating complexity into clarity and helping people make confident decisions with what they've built. That's what pulled me in and what's kept me in it. As a Tucson native, I'm intentional about building my career and my practice in the community I grew up in, where relationships compound over decades and the chance to genuinely shape my clients' lives — and their families' lives after them — is the whole point.
