My first career was nursing. I was a nurse for thirty years, working in the operating room. I retired and started working with a financial advisor for my own finances. He recruited me and it's now seven years later I am enjoying my second career.

I received my BSN for nursing and a certificate to to be a nurse in the operating room. Once I went into financial advising, I took and passed the Life and Health Series 63 and 35. I also passed the Series 26, specifically to be a branch manger.

The biggest challenge I've overcome is persevering. Being an OR nurse you learn to have thick skin and not take things personally. My biggest challenge as a Financial Advisor is finding new clients.

My greatest strength is my maturity. I've been working for many, many years and have a lot to offer. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and I am bilingual. My office just moved to a high Hispanic community which enables me to help this group much more easily.

My greatest accomplishment to date is getting as far as I have on my own. Also passing the series 65 was very challenging and was wonderful to achieve.

My goal is to grow my business and build a team in order to help more people.

A few things inspire me such as my family, my religion and my love for talking to and helping people.

I most want to be remembered for being honest and helping to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

I received The National Leadership for Ski Patrol

I support my local church.

I enjoy dancing, reading and bowling.
