I am a Registered Sales Assistant with Kestra Financial® with 19 years of experience working in the financial services industry. I currently hold FINRA Series 7 and 63 securities registrations, a BA in psychology from San Diego State University, and a MA in leadership studies from the University of San Diego. Outside of finances I am a retired professional contemporary ballet dancer with 20 years of performance experience as well as a choreographer. For 6 years I co-produced a community arts engagement event in San Diego which used the arts to facilitate dialogue around important topics like "setting boundaries" and "processing grief". Dancers, singers, writers, spoken word artists, and visual artists presented work around the specific topics. The audience would then discuss the topic collectively during a Q&A session. As a retired dancer I still enjoy being creative by way of flower arrangement workshops, crafting classes, and being a patron of all art forms.
