Our Team

Hi! My name is Jasmine Ball and I am the Founder of and Financial Advisor at Bamboo Financial Partners. I created this firm out of a desire to make financial advice more accessible, inclusive, and holistic. I didn’t want to work with clients, I wanted to work with partners.

A Little about Me…

I am a California-native, born in San Jose & raised in the rural community of Orland, CA. I grew up with 3 sisters, 2 cows, 1 horse, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. I love playing sports, volunteering, and learning. I started in the financial services industry in 2011 as a Sales Assistant for a Financial Advisor and later transitioned into a New Representative Development Program and then into Management. I am the first in my family to attend college and I received two Bachelor’s Degrees—one in education and another in Psychology from Macalester College in St. Paul, MN. Additionally, I completed my Master of Social Work degree in 2019 at the University of Southern California. My favorite basketball team is the LA Clippers and my favorite author is Malcolm Gladwell. After spending 6 years in Los Angeles building my career I decided to move to Tulsa, OK in order to be closer to family and to create a better work-life balance. My favorite part of my career is hearing people’s stories and building relationships.

A Background of Bamboo Financial Partners…

My desire to be an entrepreneur stemmed from the example of my father. He was a self-employed meat cutter for 45 years and I had the privilege of seeing him build a business built on integrity, quality work, and relationships. After being in the Financial Services industry for over 10 years, I felt I had created a stable enough foundation to then create my own vision. Bamboo Financial Partners has been a dream of mine for years and culminates my values as well as represents why I chose this career path. Growing up I did not know anyone that saved, invested, or took steps to financially protect their future. I believe that given the right amount of information, we are all capable of making educated decisions to better our financial futures. For this reason, I founded Bamboo Financial Partners—to help partner with others on their journey to growth by helping them build a stable foundation.

About Me...

I'm originally from the East Coast, born in Massachusettes, and grew up in Virginia Beach, VA. I was raised by my adoptive family and grew up in a household with lots of pets. Needless to say, I was surrounded by people who wore their hearts on their sleeves and I've adopted that as well. I later moved to New Mexico where I attended high school and college, with a focus on business technology. It's always been my goal to work with people and customer service is a big part of my formative years, from starting as a cashier to later managing an office I've always strived to be of service. I moved to Tulsa in May of 2018, following my family who relocated to this area a few years prior. This area has grown on me and I'm proud to call myself a Tulsan!

Becoming a part of Bamboo...

After settling in Tulsa I started working at a furniture gallery and stayed for 5 years. I was looking for more, somewhere I could not only grow but make a meaningful impact and I found just that with Bamboo Financial Partners. I was able to connect with Jasmine through LinkedIn and after our first phone call, I knew this is where I wanted to be. I am so thankful to be in a position where I can be of assistance administratively but also put my creativity to use when helping organize and plan events. I believe what we do is so important and truly makes a positive impact on our community, whether it be through finances and guidance or helping members of the Tulsa area through community events designed to give back. It's an honor to be a part of what Bamboo has built and I look forward to what's to come.
