What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the guidance and mentorship of Brooke McKernan, a leading financial advisor at Northwestern Mutual. Her expertise, dedication, and strategic approach to financial planning have not only shaped my professional growth but also inspired me to uphold the highest standards of service and integrity in my own practice. Through her mentorship, I have learned the importance of building meaningful client relationships, staying disciplined in goal-setting, and continuously striving for excellence in every aspect of my work.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me in both my work and personal life center around service, community engagement, and family protection. Through my involvement with different Associations in Miami and Palm Beach, I have had the privilege of supporting many business owners with financial planning and guidance, emphasizing the importance of preparing for the future. Additionally, my work with the Alzheimer’s community has reinforced my commitment to helping families navigate both emotional and financial challenges, highlighting the need for comprehensive planning that safeguards loved ones and ensures peace of mind.
