Get to know FINRA Foundation Military Spouse Fellow, Darya Morrison<\/strong><\/h2>\n

AFCPE: What were you doing prior to becoming an AFC<\/strong>\u00ae<\/sup>?
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Darya: <\/strong>I have been a Restaurant Manager for about 7 years. Most recently, I ran a restaurant in Washington, D.C. as a General Manager, and\u00a0before that I ran 6 food and beverage outlets in Hilton, Dubai.<\/p>\n

AFCPE: How did you first learn about the FINRA Foundation Military Spouse Fellowship, and why did you apply?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Darya: <\/strong>I learned about the Fellowship from a wonderful\u00a0AFC\u00ae <\/sup>on JBSA Randolph (Joint Base San Antonio \u2013 Randolph Airforce Base). Once I got to know more about her work, I realized that this was the job of my dreams. I would like to make a difference in the financial education system by helping people achieve financial success.<\/p>\n

AFCPE: As a FINRA Foundation Fellow, what does your work look like now? \u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Darya:<\/strong> Currently, I\u2019m volunteering at the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society, counseling veterans through the VeteransPlus\/Yellow Ribbon Network, and working as a Tax Professional. I am also occupied with real estate with a focus on real estate investing.<\/p>\n

AFCPE: What has been the most rewarding part of the Fellowship program so far?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Darya:<\/strong> While I have enjoyed studying, working directly with clients\u00a0and being able to help has definitely been the most personally rewarding part of the program.<\/p>\n

AFCPE: What advice do you have for someone who is thinking about applying for the fellowship? \u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Darya: <\/strong>Put a great effort into the application. You get out what you put in. Then, stay committed to your goal until the end. Study, don’t give up, and don’t procrastinate.<\/p>\n
