From Uncertainty to Purpose: My Journey as a Financial Advisor
Eight years ago, I never imagined I would find my purpose in the world of finance. I didn’t grow up thinking, “I want to be a Financial Advisor someday.” In fact, like many of us, I was searching—for clarity, for stability, and for something meaningful.
At that time, life wasn’t exactly a straight path. I had a background in online teaching, a flair for arts and design, and some experience in customer service. I also came from a family that ran a small beach resort business, so I understood the value of hard work and serving others from a young age. But even with all that, something still felt missing. I wanted a career that wasn’t just about making a living—I wanted to make a difference.
That’s when I was introduced to the world of financial planning.
“I wanted a career that wasn’t just about making a living—I wanted to make a difference.”
I didn’t say yes right away. Honestly, I had doubts. The idea of talking to people about money felt intimidating. But as I learned more, I realized how important this work really is.
I saw families struggling with unexpected hospital bills. I met breadwinners who were anxious about their future. And I began to understand the power of preparation. That’s when it clicked—what if I could be the person who helps others gain peace of mind through proper planning?
So I took a leap of faith and joined AIA Philippines. I trained, studied, and earned the trust of my first clients. To deepen my knowledge and credibility, I also enrolled in the Registered Financial Planners (RFP) Program, Batch 74—a decision that helped me grow in both skill and confidence as a Financial Advisor.
From then on, there was no turning back.
Being a Financial Advisor isn’t always easy. There are rejections, challenges, and seasons of uncertainty. But it’s also deeply rewarding. I’ve helped parents protect their children’s future. I’ve guided young professionals in starting their investment journey. And I’ve witnessed families bounce back stronger—because they planned ahead.
Through the years, I’ve grown not just as a professional, but as a person. This job has taught me empathy, resilience, and the importance of genuine connection. It has allowed me to live a life of purpose, where every conversation could change someone’s life for the better.
And that’s why I’m still here—committed, passionate, and ready to help more people secure the life they deserve.
If you’re reading this and you’re unsure about your finances, I want you to know: you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to help you plan, prepare, and protect what matters most.
Let’s talk. Your financial journey starts now.
