I began my career with Edward Jones firm shortly after college graduation from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 2007. I was asked to be a limited partner in the firm in 2015.

My passion in this business is focused on helping educate clients about the investment world because I know firsthand how important it is. Coming from a conservative Bangladeshi family, finances were not openly discussed. I didn't realize exactly how little knowledge my highly educated father (in sciences) had in this area until I started asking questions about his own retirement plan. He admitted that he was always overwhelmed, avoided the subject and wished he had been approached by someone to help him during his early savings years.

I keep those thoughts in mind as Hilary and I serve our clients every day. Together, we focus on being efficient, proactive and learning what's important to you. Hilary and I love getting to know our clients personally to learn about their goals and dreams. As a financial advisor, I have noticed the importance of solid estate considerations, planning for retirement and income distribution in retirement. Clients can expect me to be proactive, customize strategies with our financial tools and be transparent about the cost of business.

On a personal note, I'm originally from central Illinois. My husband, Zach, is a native of Evansville and also works in the finance industry. We enjoy traveling, cooking and participating in local community events. We have a world map and a bucket list that we plan to continue working on.

Hilary and her husband, Jacob, have a son named Oakley. Jacob is a local union carpenter originally from Evansville. They enjoy being outdoors, camping, playing games with friends and the local fall festival – that is where they met. They look forward to celebrating their 10-year anniversary this upcoming year.
