Joy joined The Financial Gym in 2017 as a Certified Financial Trainer. She worked with people at every stage of their financial lives. Some were just getting started, some were paying off debt, and others were growing their wealth or planning for big life changes. In each case she helped them make confident, informed choices that fit their own goals. After passing the Series 65 exam in 2024, Joy became an Investment Adviser Representative. She serves clients through Connective Wealth Partners, LLC (“CWP”), an SEC-registered investment adviser that operates The Financial Gym Advisors and Private Wealth Collective as d/b/a names. Joy holds a B.S. in Advertising and Marketing Communications from Johnson & Wales University. Before she started in personal finance, she spent five years at creative advertising agencies, including BBDO New York and Burns Group. She worked on campaigns for household brands such as Mars Chocolate (M&M’s and Dove), Yellow Tail wine, Post Foods and Ricola. Studying what drives people to buy shapes how she thinks about behavioral finance today. She helps clients understand the “why” behind their spending and saving habits, so they can make money decisions with more clarity and confidence.
