Brooke Bradley

MBA - Marketing

Meet Brooke Bradley – From being a marketing director of an Insurance company to being a stay-at-home mom, and now a financial advisor, Brooke Bradley is doing what she loves - helping individuals, families, and businesses.

Brooke obtained a BBA Marketing Management (1994) and MBA Marketing (1995) from UNT. Her fondest memories of UNT was the flexibility that the school offered her during her programs. She played volleyball for UNT and had professors to work with her on her schedule of either taking tests early or notes that she missed in their class. She says “They all helped make it a seamless process especially since it was a ‘time’ before e-mail and cell phones.”

Brooke entered the field of Insurance immediately after college. She was the Marketing Director for an Independent Adjusting Firm handling all lines of insurance claims services in the DFW area and Texas Border States for 9 years. Thereafter, she transitioned to being a full-time stay at home mom for 6 ½ years to take care of her then 3 and 1 year old children.

She currently works as a financial advisor for Edward Jones at Coppell, Texas. She partners with individuals, families, and businesses to create and implement personalized financial strategies for their specific goals for retirement, education, 401ks, life insurance, or estate planning.

Advice for students: Seek out companies for volunteer positions or internships. The earlier you can apply for internships or volunteer positions will only help you discover if the company is a fit for you and puts your name ahead of your competition. Edward Jones has an excellent program called FACD (Financial Advisor Career Development) that will accept and train young college degreed individuals.
