I began my career at Raymond James as a records associate in Human Resources. During that time, I took advantage of Raymond James University to learn about the financial industry, as well as the company itself. When a position opened up in Information Security, I applied. Because I had a proven track record and the added knowledge from RJU, I was able to get the job. Ever since, I’ve been presented with opportunities to challenge myself; as a result, I’ve grown into a career of my choice. I have evolved into a managerial role within the Information Security Access Administration Department. I took several leadership skills classes offered by RJU. The classes helped me prepare myself and enhance my skills to be a better manager. I've really had the opportunity to excel, thanks to Raymond James.

It is very satisfying to work with people who develop thoughtful and intelligent plans to achieve goals ... and who have fun along the way. The firm has made a good transition from small to large over the past decade, and that has to be somewhat attributable to the work, work, play concept.

I joined Raymond James through the OPTIONS program, which provides an invaluable opportunity to learn many aspects of the business and engage in a wide spectrum of projects. In considering my rotations, I sincerely feel I have made a significant contribution to each department I have worked for and to the firm as a whole. One of the best attributes of the program is the provision of organized opportunities for participants to meet and network with senior management, including chairman Tom James and CEO Paul Reilly. The OPTIONS program is a testament to the firm's philosophy that investing in the careers of young professionals is beneficial not only to the professionals themselves, but to the future of the firm.

For me, the financial services industry offers a fascinating career that provides a lifetime of learning. I have grown considerably over the past eleven years both personally and professionally. After leaving for a brief period of time to pursue another opportunity in the industry, I was drawn back to Raymond James because its distinctive culture and the high integrity of its people are unique to the organization. It is uncommon to work in an environment where everyone shares the same philosophies and pride in their company. I am glad to be a part of Raymond James and telling others about my firm.
