Financial Advisor

Bradenton, FL

I believe informed people make better decisions. When I was growing up in Puerto Rico, we did not have financial conversations around the dinner table. In fact, financial conversations were somewhat taboo! Life insurance? Forget it! My number one reason for leaving a cushy 6-figures corporate and consulting career is to bring financial literacy to Hispanics so we can claim what is ours! Many of us come to this country and achieve high levels of success, yet, we are unaware of the strategies to protect what we build for future generations. I will change that! If you want to help me, it all starts with a conversation. Let's chat today!
