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.
