Member Spotlight: Hannah Ahmed - Not All Financial Professionals are Annoying Salespeople

Are all financial professionals mustache-twirling villains? Hannah Ahmed (CFP®, CDFA®) says no, just some.  Join her Thursday, March 18 to learn what makes a good and not-so-good financial professional.

Hannah Ahmed grew up in a small, rural town in Montana. She was fortunate enough to self-finance her way through Harvard by working as a nanny. After graduation, she wanted to go back west and found herself in Seattle. 

Being practical and wanting to find a career that would allow her to help others while being challenging and providing a stable income, she decided to explore working in the financial field. She figured she would gain the knowledge she could share with her friends and family and use it throughout her life regardless, so it seemed like the perfect way to start her adult, working life. It ended up being the perfect fit, and she could not imagine doing anything else. 

Having the opportunity to be a part of people's lives and navigate their financial futures is rewarding and challenging. She has found it fulfills her desire to continually grow and learn new things constantly while helping people she cares about.
