About

Growing up in a broken home and with a family that did not have much money, I promised myself at a young age I would never allow my future family to go through the struggles I had to go through as a child and teenager. I always knew I wanted to go to college and be successful, but I did not know what exactly I wanted to do. I have always excelled in math, but was not sure if I wanted to pursue a career in a math related field. After changing majors more than a few times, I finally realized that pursuing a career in the Financial field is what is right for me. Although it took me longer than I anticipated, I have finally figured out that is what is right for me because it will allow me to be successful and make a high income, all while doing something that I have always excelled at.
