Q&A

What gives you the most satisfaction at work?

Working with clients and helping them reach their financial goals. I also enjoy getting to know them personally and understanding what matters most in their lives.

What is a lesson you've learned that has shaped your professional approach?

It’s not always what you know, but who you know, and more importantly, how you treat people. Networking and building genuine relationships have taught me the importance of connecting with others and learning from the people around me.

What book, podcast, or resource do you recommend?

I really enjoy the With The Perrys podcast. It has helped me tremendously in my Christian walk and has given me a lot of encouragement and perspective on my faith.

What is your favorite travel destination?

Sierra Leone, on the west coast of Africa. It has some of the best beaches and freshest food I’ve ever experienced, and the fact that both of my parents were born there also makes it a very special place to visit.

If you weren't in your current profession, what would you be doing?

If I weren’t in my current profession, I would follow in my family’s footsteps by becoming a nurse. Helping others and making a meaningful difference in people’s lives through compassionate care is work I’ve always deeply admired.

What is something on your bucket list?

I would love to travel to Tokyo and experience the culture, food, and city for myself.
