Brittney Taylor

Registered Client Associate

Brittney’s interest in finance started long before her career did. As a child in Montego Bay, Jamaica, she would tag along with her sitter while she cleaned the Nova Scotia Bank—and she was instantly captivated, playing on the computers and imagining herself in that world.

 

Years later, Brittney earned a partially funded scholarship to study Criminal Justice at Monroe College in New Rochelle, NY, where she completed her associate degree. After entering the workforce, she was mentored by colleagues who recognized her potential and encouraged her to explore a path in financial services.

 

Brittney spent several years advancing her career at Wells Fargo Bank and later Wells Fargo Advisors, where her former manager, Tiffanie Gray, inspired her to pursue her professional licenses. Determined to advance academically as well, Brittney began her B.S. in Financial Management at UConn—earning placement on the Dean’s List—before transferring to SUNY Empire State College, where she completed her B.S. in Business, Management and Economics. She went on to broaden her experience even further, serving Ultra High Net Worth clients as a Client Service Senior Analyst, Assistant Vice President in Citi Private Bank.

 

In her spare time, Brittney enjoys reading personal development books, singing karaoke with friends, and perfecting her famous rum cake recipe.
