I came to the financial field later in life. I started my professional career by earning my Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry at Washington College on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. I went on to complete my Masters and Doctorate in Organic Chemistry at Johns Hopkins.
After my post-doctorate work at the National Cancer Institute, it was time to get my first big boy job and I landed at an industrial water treatment company in the western suburbs of Chicago. There I worked in Research developing new products before moving to the Supply Chain side and digitizing the manufacturing processes. During the COVID-19 lockdown, I was unhappy with the financial advice I was given when we received a small inheritance. My parents also made some decisions heading into their retirement that kept them working for longer than anticipated so I decided to enroll in the Financial Planning Certificate Program at Depaul University
