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.

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.
