Career Objective
I have been in the finance industry for some time now, after initially starting in the Sports Industry. I strive to grow within a company and welcome all industries to tackle my next challenge. I enjoy new challenges and embrace all obstacles that come my way. I am continuously learning and I enjoy improving the business in any way possible. I am analytical in my thinking and believe in using that, along with other skills, to improve business practices.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Investment Specialist
The Chaddock Group, Columbus, OH, 2017–Present
Joined as an Investment Specialist where I quickly learned software and headed all trading processes. I enhanced advisors recommendations by putting together research reports. I drove integration by putting processes in place that were implemented from my own ideas to improve daily trading activity.
Implemented a Trading Tracker to monitor business activities.
Produced a Trading process that lead to fewer errors and quicker times. Dropped error count acknowledged by Office Manager.
Organized a process to finish 7 of our advisor’s yearly client meeting summaries in a 3-month span.
Took over all Trading processes in less than a month time from start date
Financial Services Specialist/Trader
FTJ Fundchoice, Hebron, KY, 41048 2015–2017
Started as a Financial Services member and was promoted to a Trader within a year. Within my first 3 months, I onboarded one of our top advisors. I oversaw all of the paperwork and communication between FTJ and the advisor. I was promoted a few months after that project to a Trader. There I coordinated many other trading projects to improve functionality and time.
Introduced a flaw in one of our allocation tools that was being used by our advisors. Developed a technology change to stop the rebalancing of accounts twice.
