As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it’s important to invest my time to understand what is important to you before you invest your money. The financial world can sometimes seem like foreign territory; I can work one-on-one with you to help determine the most appropriate financial strategy for you and your family.
Prior to joining Edward Jones, I worked as a market intelligence analyst for the World Trade Center. I came to Edward Jones in 2009 because I wanted to work more personally with individual investors. For the past 12 years, I have partnered with Cheryl Giandonato, Branch Office Administrator, to best serve our clients as a team.
A 2009 graduate of Marquette University, I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in finance and marketing. I also completed the CFP® certification program at Northwestern University. Earning the CFP® certificate shows my strong commitment to best serving clients. Finance runs in my blood, as my mother was an accountant for the Chicago Board of Trade and my grandfather was an investment banker who went on to create his own company.
Originally from LaGrange Park, I have lived in the west suburban community for most of my life. Prior to Marquette University, I was a National Honors Society member and student at Fenwick High School in Oak Park, IL. My husband, Javier, and I are enjoying our life together in Oak Park with our sons, Adrian and Leo, and dog, Minnie.
At Edward Jones, we focus on you. The firm has thousands of people and advanced technology supporting our office so that we can help you and your family reach your long-term financial goals.
