Last week I had the privilege of attending the ConnectHer networking event and sharing a little about my career journey.
A lot of people are surprised to learn that before becoming a Financial Adviser, I was a nurse.
While nursing and financial advice might seem like two completely different careers, for me they’ve always had one thing in common: helping people through some of the hardest times in their lives.
As a nurse, I cared for people when life changed in an instant. I saw firsthand that when someone became seriously ill or injured, the emotional toll was already overwhelming. But on top of that came another stress that no one wanted to think about… money.
I watched families worry about mortgage payments, everyday bills, and taking time off work when all they really wanted to focus on was recovery, being together, and supporting each other.
That experience has stayed with me.
It’s the reason I’m so passionate about what I do today. Insurance isn’t just about policies or premiums. It’s about giving people options, protecting their lifestyle, and helping ensure that if life takes an unexpected turn, finances don’t become another burden during an already difficult time.
I’m incredibly grateful to ConnectHer for the opportunity to share my story, and to meet so many inspiring women who are building amazing businesses and supporting one another along the way.
Thank you to everyone who came along, listened, shared their own journeys, and made it such a fantastic evening. I’m already looking forward to the next one! 💕
