Zubko took four months of maternity leave last winter, but continued to work on her business.
“It wasn’t necessary from Edward Jones’ standpoint. It’s just my personality. I like to stay involved in things,” she said. “That’s another reason why it was so special to receive this award in a year that it felt like it was a little bit harder than many years.”
Zubko, licensed six years ago, was humbled to receive the award, especially since she was coming from the “small town” of Yorkton, and competing in an industry of such high achievers. But, she felt it honoured her client-centred business, where she focuses on helping people fulfill their financial goals, her passion for continually learning to give her clients her best advice, and her public speaking. She often presents, on behalf of Edward Jones, on social media and life insurance.
“My focus is on educating individuals who haven’t necessarily felt that they’ve understood this industry, and trying to give them advice that they don’t necessarily know that they need,” she said. “I’m very proactive in my approach, talking to them about things that they hadn’t thought of themselves, and trying to give them the best advice.”
Zubko was born and raised in Yorkton, left to attend university in Vancouver and work in Alberta, then returned to build a career helping people understand the world of finance. She offers a holistic service, checking on their financial goals as well as well as their insurance and estate planning.
