Mikayla joined Raleigh Wealth Solutions after graduating with a Master of Science degree from Oklahoma State University. Even though she wore orange for two years, her heart will always bleed red; she was a Park Scholar at North Carolina State University, where she obtained an undergraduate degree in human biology.

After competing as a national and world champion cheerleader for both universities and for the U.S. National Team, Mikayla decided that the science realm wasn’t quite competitive enough to fuel her fire. Thus, she launched herself into the financial industry.

She is passionate about serving Raleigh Wealth Solutions’ select families and business owners, creating tax efficient plans, and giving hard-working families confidence that their wealth will allow them to live the lifestyle they have worked for. Mikayla loves feeling like she makes an impact every day on something that really matters.

As a passionate lifelong learner, Mikayla also cares deeply about sharing financial knowledge with other young professionals to make sure they experience the compounding effect of making good financial decisions early on in their careers. Her YouTube channel “Mondays with Mikayla” (Subscribe Today!) features a weekly video on financial tips for young professionals. From budgeting, to how to set up an IRA, to more advanced strategies for high income earners, she covers it all in short, easy to understand videos.

You can take the athlete out of the competition, but you can’t take the competition out of the athlete! In her spare time, Mikayla enjoys HYROX training – a highly competitive and physically demanding fitness competition. She also enjoys reading Romantic Fantasies like Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, trying healthy new snack recipes, training her four dogs, gardening, and spending time outside.

Mikayla has obtained and currently maintains her Series 63, 65, 7, and 24 licenses in good standing and holds her North Carolina life and health insurance licenses. She is also a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP® designation).
