EXPLOREWhy Did You Become a Financial Advisor?
I want to help people improve their financial health and literacy. Consumers are inundated with financial news and advice. That advice is not for everyone.
The industry is shifting from personal to impersonal (robo-advisors and large investment firms). I decided to become a financial advisor because I want to have a career where I feel good about what I do and share knowledge that can really help people, not just corporations and their shareholders.
A financial advisor should have a close and trusted relationship with their clients. I am here to listen and provide clarity around how to achieve important financial goals. I believe that helping people understand their personal finances can lead to better decisions and confidence in their future.
“You are as powerful and strong as you allow yourself to be.”

IN FOCUS
A Team Approach
The decision to join Forum and work alongside my mom, Forum Partner Barbara Ray, made perfect sense. For years, we talked about working together and how I could use my education and experience to help people accomplish their financial goals.
As a financial advisor, I aim to provide the same level of focused and careful financial planning that my mom has provided to her clients for many years.
