Q & A

Q:

What inspired you to pursue your career in financial management?

I was a recent Master’s graduate working at Papa John’s (having previously worked in the mall at Bath and Body Works with a Bachelor’s), and I was feeling down about having these degrees and still not getting jobs. I decided to go for a receptionist job at a family run financial advisory firm and was encouraged to learn all I could with them. Ultimately, this lead to where I am today!

What does the world need now more than anything?

Understanding and acceptance. We all need to take a step back and see that we aren’t that different from one another.

What differentiates Cerity Partners from other firms in our space?

Although we are nationwide, with multiple offices, we still have a personal boutique touch with our clients. It’s not lost on us that each person is unique and requires different ways of approaching their finances.
