Kimberly Solomon
Financial Advisor

“Happiness can be found in even the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” JK Rowling

My journey began in India and continued in Canada, where I spent my formative years. During my time in school, I discovered a passion for empowering others through financial literacy, volunteering as a financial coach to impart valuable knowledge to my peers. I love to read and draw in my spare time. As a devoted sports enthusiast, my allegiance lies with the LA Lakers! I also enjoy travel and have visited seven countries.

In a significant milestone in my personal life, I joyfully welcomed my first child, Reeya Solomon Stanford, in November 2023. Parenthood has brought immeasurable joy and fulfillment to my life.

I served as a Financial Coach and the Vice President of Digital Marketing for the UVU Money Management Resource Center. I was the recipient of the Bud Poduska Service Award from the UVU Personal Financial Planning program in 2023.

Along with my family, I make food and deliver it to the homeless community nearly every Sunday evening. My family was connected to another that had been doing this for a long time and joined the effort because homeless shelters in her area don’t provide food. We also gather and distribute donations during this time.

What made you interested in finance: I took a financial planning elective while I was still a Political Science major and ended up loving it and really connecting with it. I switched my major shortly after with some recruitment from Luke Dean, one of the Personal Financial Planning professors at UVU.

What do you like to do outside of work?: I like to read, watch movies, and do anything with a creative outlet like drawing, cooking/baking.
