Female Spotlight – Meet Ryleigh Campbell 💖
• Tell us about yourself!
I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in May, but I am originally from Illinois (shoutout to my fellow Midwesterners). I recently joined LaRocco & Associates as a Financial Planning Assistant, where I'm learning all aspects of the practice with the goal of earning my certifications and growing into a Junior Advisor role! I love connecting with people, embracing new opportunities, and finding ways to continuously grow both personally and professionally.
Outside of work, I enjoy crafting, especially with shells I collect from the beach, paddleboarding, trying new Italian restaurants, adding fun pieces to my wardrobe, and curating the perfect morning coffee.
• Biggest strength?
My ability to balance analytical thinking with creativity. I love problem-solving and thinking logically, but I'm also a very creative person and enjoy looking at things from many different perspectives.
• Most inspiring woman in your life?
So many faces come to mind! From my mom, younger sister, and grandmothers to newfound colleagues, former teammates, and so many lovely friends, each has played a meaningful role in shaping who I am. I could never choose just one, and for that I am incredibly blessed.
• Describe yourself in 3 words.
Driven, reliable, and creative.
• Best splurge or favorite item in your closet?
Anything Free People. I have a weakness for fun pieces :)
• Best advice you’ve received?
"Closed mouths don't get fed.” You never know unless you ask, and I've learned that putting yourself out there and being willing to hear "no" can lead to opportunities you never expected.
• Three things you can’t live without.
My younger siblings, my 2 fluffy Siberian cats, and a perfectly curated playlist.
• Best compliment you’ve received?
I'm someone people feel they can trust and confide in. Knowing someone feels safe coming to me means a lot.
• Something most people don’t know about you?
I have an oddly good sense of direction. If I have driven somewhere once, chances are I'll remember how to get there again without directions.
• A book that everyone should read?
I am more of a podcast person, but I would recommend Atomic Habits. It's a top-rated book for a reason and really made me aware of how the little things you do every day can add up over time.
• Something you want to be doing in 10 years?
Aside from being well-established in my career… I hope to have taken many more great trips to new places, still be getting my monthly rolls of film developed, and have added plenty of new spots to my "favorite places to eat" list.
• What excites you most right now?
All the newness! I am in such a transitional stage of life right now, and there are so many people to meet, places to explore, things to learn, and experiences ahead of me. I'm excited to see what this chapter brings while also staying present and grateful for it all.
