Brooke Donley Behrens

I am truly passionate about helping you reach your financial goals. I work closely with you to understand what’s important to you and create a customized financial and investment strategy to help you reach your goals. You and I work together throughout your life to keep you on track, and we partner with your CPA and attorney to create a comprehensive strategy.

I have been part of the Edward Jones family for my entire life. My father started as an Edward Jones financial advisor in 1982, and by third grade, if you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would answer, “Stock broker”. In 2016, I joined my father as a financial advisor in Olathe, KS. We have worked side-by-side for four years, and I have enjoyed getting to learn from his 35-plus years of experience.

In 2018 and 2019, I received an invitation to the Barron’s Top Women Advisors Summit.

I started at Edward Jones in 2013 in St. Louis, MO as an associate equity research analyst in the Research Department. During this time, I analyzed individual stocks and helped create our “Buy, Sell, Hold” stock opinions. In addition, I am a Chartered Financial Analyst*. While getting my MBA from the University of Missouri, I worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City for a summer.

With my unique experience of mentoring from my father and my work experience with Edward Jones, I look forward to working with you to reach your financial goals.

Our team includes senior branch office administrators, Karen Newcomb and Julie Miiller-Childs. Combined they have over 30 years of experience at Edward Jones.
