Who makes up your family? My family consists of my parents and three siblings, and I am also very close with my extended family. I come from a very family-oriented background, so spending time with my grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles is important to me. My family has always been a strong source of support, guidance, and encouragement, and they play a big role in my life and the person I am today.

What do you enjoy most about your work? I enjoy helping clients work toward their financial goals while learning from the experienced professionals on the team. It is very rewarding to help clients feel more confident about their financial future. I also enjoy the fast-paced, collaborative environment because it allows me to continually build my knowledge of financial planning and gain hands-on experience.

What expertise do you bring to clients? As a freshman at Kansas State University studying personal financial planning, I have a strong willingness to learn, attention to detail, and a commitment to supporting and helping clients. I am dependable, communicate clearly, and ensure tasks are completed accurately and on time. Through my coursework and hands-on experience, I am continuing to build my skills and knowledge in all aspects of financial planning.

What is your idea of personal freedom? As a student paying for college and monthly expenses, personal freedom means being able to cover those responsibilities without going into debt and having the financial stability to support myself. It also means having peace of mind about my finances and the ability to make decisions about my future without constantly worrying about money.
