LinkedInCarrisa Flores is a Wealth Advisor at Vance Wealth, where she brings dedication and purpose to her work supporting clients and the team. Originally from the Inland Empire, Carrisa started her career as a respiratory therapist at Riverside Medical Clinic. Although she found this work challenging and fulfilling, she eventually realized her long-term aspirations lay elsewhere. Through soul-searching, Carrisa discovered her passion for personal finance and the transformative power of financial planning, inspired by her own journey to pay off student loans.
Motivated by this realization, Carrisa pursued a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a focus on finance, along with a minor in financial planning from California State University, Fullerton. Despite entering the workforce during the pandemic, she completed a virtual internship with the Financial Planning Association (FPA) before joining Vance Wealth.
In her role, Carrisa takes on a variety of responsibilities but finds particular satisfaction in collaborating with her team to provide the structure, organization, and support necessary to make a positive impact on clients’ lives and the community.
Outside of work, Carrisa enjoys planning stateside road trips with her husband, Jose, and spending quality time barbecuing with family and friends.
