Independence
As an independent advisor, I have the flexibility that I need to offer my clients with different products from many Canadian companies. This independence allows me to find the right solution for my clients’ specific needs so I can give them advice that they can trust.

Support of Network
I am grateful for the support of my network to further my professional knowledge and grow my business to the next level. Not only do I have countless opportunities to learn from other advisors’ best practices, but I am also incentivized to pursue my CFP designation.

Owning Books of Business
To me, it’s essential to build a team culture that reflects our values. This network recognizes and supports that, which allows myself and my team to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
