An interest in people. A future in financial advising.

Curious about markets.
Committed to people.

I’m a financial economics student at BYU–Idaho, graduating in December 2026. I’m seeking client advisory and portfolio management roles at a fee-only RIA.

Understanding the person behind the plan.

I chose financial advising because I enjoy helping people understand their options and reach their goals. I believe the fee-only RIA model aligns an advisor’s incentives more closely with a family’s goals. No model removes every conflict, but this structure can reduce them and make them easier to identify.

I bring experience in family-office planning, financial planning, and client-facing tax preparation. I’m building the technical judgment to support an advisory team, listen closely, and distill financial information into clear next steps.

My solid foundation.
