My husband, my son, my siblings, my aunt &amp; my grandmother are all my closest heroes. Heroes for different reasons, they all share a storyline of being incredibly resilient and compassionate humans regardless of some really hard situations. They have all acted as a guiding map throughout different parts of my life.<\/span><\/p><p><b>My Hobbies<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Running, Peloton cycling, hiking, reading, and volunteering.; I do all these things at least once a week to keep my cup full. Traveling and watching Cincinnati Bengals football are also favorites that happen a little less often.<\/span><\/p><p><b>My Favorite Personal Finance Resource: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any type of webinar as it relates to personal finance and\/or psychology. A huge part of understanding personal finance is also understanding people. I love how the AFCPE calendar of events always has so many options!<\/span><\/p><p><b>What led you to AFCPE? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honestly, the people. While I originally came for my AFC designation to bolster my professional portfolio when I saw the job posting I knew I had to apply. I had interactions with some of the team members while gaining certification and they were always so helpful and kind\u2026I just wanted to be a part of that. Plus, the role was a perfect mix of my experience and passion; it was a no-brainer!<\/span><\/p><p><b>What are you most excited about in your new role? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting to know our members and showing them the value of the AFCPE Membership.
