Meet Elisabeth Dawson
She says: Finance is in my blood . Helping people with money is in my blood. My story begins with the longest most stressful month of my life in 1998 when my second child , Trevor , was born with severe complications and confined to the NICU. My whole life was about to change.
Suddenly I was facing the need for a new career to have the time flexibility I needed to care for my son. I thought I’d be in retail my entire life, but I needed to transition away from the very demanding and successful career I had as a fashion buyer for Nordstrom.
So in 1998 , I ventured out looking for what I felt like a whole new life. I had no idea what to do next. A friend watched my son so I could interview with the GM of a local branch of Metlife. I took the interview and I loved it.
I felt I was born to help people with life’s most difficult subject: Money. I decided to go back to school at night to become licensed. I was 28 years old.
Fast forward to present day.
