We had our annual financial review with Kristi this afternoon and need to rave about her abilities and her personability! She has managed our Mission Wealth account for 4 years now and done very well increasing our funds and diversifying them against market changes. We are both retired and have continually changing needs. Kristi is super responsive to our needs and her models are great for explaining how to meet them. It is such a comfort to have her on our team.
