This Month: Rachel Currington, Financial Advisor, Edward Jones

Topic: Importance of Financial Planning

Rachel's Bio: 
So who am I? Born and raised in England, my husband, Mike, and I moved to San Diego in 2001 to pursue the "American Dream," to work hard and become financially independent. Our two children, Evie and Charlotte, were born here, and I was fortunate to be able to spend several years as a stay-at-home mom and avid PTA volunteer. When I was ready to restart my career, I decided not to return to my roots in the fashion industry, but instead to find a new challenge. I joined Edward Jones in 2015, on the recommendation of a friend, and became licensed as a financial advisor in 2017, after finding a passion for helping people feel comfortable while discussing their finances. 

My leisure time is largely spent volunteering with local organizations, including serving as a board member on three local PTA boards and for the Foundation for Senior Wellbeing. My family and I all love to travel, and we are often to be found planning our next trip somewhere local, or to Europe or Asia.
