Hey there! My expertise in financial licensing is rooted in both academic rigor and recent, practical success. As a Finance graduate from Virginia Tech and a current Level 1 CFA candidate working at LPL Financial, I have a deep understanding of the technical and regulatory frameworks that govern the securities industry. I successfully cleared the SIE, Series 65, and Series 3 exams while simultaneously managing the demands of a full-time university schedule and part-time professional employment. This experience allowed me to refine a study process that prioritizes high-impact material and efficient time management, which I now use to help other students and professionals navigate these same challenges.

My tutoring approach is built on the principle of clarity through simplification. I recognize that the volume of material in these exams can be daunting, so I work one-on-one with students to break down complex concepts such as derivative mechanics or fiduciary obligations, into plain and understandable language. To support this, I have developed comprehensive study guides that consolidate the necessary information, allowing my students to minimize their reliance on bulky external textbooks. Whether you are a student looking to enter the industry or a working professional under a strict HR deadline, my goal is to provide the targeted guidance and structural support necessary to achieve your licensing goals as quickly as possible.

I hold a B.S. in Finance and Investment Management from Virginia Tech and currently work as a Business Development Associate for LPL Financial. After passing the Series 65 on my first attempt while balancing full-time university and professional roles, I developed a streamlined study guide to help others master the material efficiently. My daily work within a major broker-dealer and financial advisors provides me with a practical understanding of the regulatory and market concepts tested on this exam. I focus on targeted strategies and clear explanations to ensure my students achieve first-attempt success.
