About Connie Bettis of Paradise Wealth Advisors
The global financial crisis of 2008 affected Connie Bettis’s life in unexpected ways. Like millions of Americans at the time, Connie was laid off from her job as a project manager at Verizon and required the advice of a financial advisor. Unfortunately for Connie and many others, she was not receiving the level of attention that she needed. If others could not help her, Connie surmised, she would help herself.
Connie became an advisor in 2009 and began using her knowledge to educate people. Over the past 13 years, Connie has continued to help guide clients through their life changes, striving to be a resource for them when they need it most.
Connie graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Business Administration and later obtained her MBA from the University of Phoenix. Connie joined Prudential Financial in 2008 where she obtained her Life & Health, Property & Casualty, and Securities licenses. After working several years at Prudential and then Guardian, Connie joined Keith Clark and Associates as an independent Registered Representative of Cambridge Investment Research.
Connie has conducted financial literacy classes at churches, community organizations, and women’s groups. She has been a panelist for the African American Leadership Conference, African American Chamber of Commerce, National Black MBA, and has been a guest speaker on the Allegheny County MWDBE radio talk show “Taking Care of Business”.
