Edward Jones - Financial Advisor: Andrea L. Yoder
"Take Risks & Be Patient" - Advice for stocks and life.
CAN YOU GUESS which two teachers at JCHS made the biggest impact on Andrea? Read on.

Andrea shares each year her unique path to becoming a financial planner. Her career background includes working with nonprofits like Holt International (adoption agency), MegaVoice Bibles, and a pregnancy center in Alton.
She always wanted to do work that she could truly serve people and help people. When her husband became a financial advisor she realized that helping people plan their financial futures is a a great way to serve people.

She has a God-centered heart of gold and is incredibly smart. Andrea always encourages students about their futures and to not get discouraged when told no.
For any readers out there, she recommended a couple of books: Four Disciplines of Execution & The Gap in the Gain.

*The teachers at JCHS that made the biggest impact on her were Cliff Kaminsky and Ben Gracey.*

Thank you for the encouraging words as this group of young adults is soon to be taking big steps towards their futures.
