Armoni Harris

Armoni Harris was raised on the northside of Milwaukee, WI, where she  became a huge help to my mom to raise my two little sisters. Harris spent my whole life in Milwaukee.  Becoming a huge role model for them, motivated her to get through life’s challenges and remain optimistic while doing so. She is the second oldest of  blended family of 7. Leading her family to financial stability and generations to come remains her reason for getting up everyday to educate others on the best financial strategies for them. 

For high school, Harris attended Rufus King and captured my Degree in Marketing and a Certificate in Entrepreneurship from University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee. She always imagined running a business, rather it was hers or someone else's. Harris is a giver at heart and embracer of love. She loves to cook for  friends, family and loved ones, this is how she shows her appreciation. 

Landing her first job at 14 years old, Harris learned from her parents the importance of saving and being discipline in doing so. Growing up in inner city , she grew an early passion of wanting to help others in many factors. 2017, her sophomore year of college, she realized that she needed more money and stepped into the medical field caring for hemodialysis patients as a licensed Certified Clinical Hemodialysis Technician.

After being a tech for 4 years and approaching graduation, Harris realized that it was time to find  opportunities in the business world she could thrive in. Searching online and attending many career fairs, she captured an opportunity at a Top 10 internship program. Within a year’s times, she managed to help many families and while doing so, completed many significant milestones within the business including being ranked #31 in the country out of 3,000+ interns.

Harris has since advanced in leadership being the first African American Growth & Development Director in my network office. She recruits financial representatives and advisors, coach and mentor. Big picture, She is striving to change the trajectory of the finance industry by seeking out diverse talent to start a career to change the lives of others in a very impactful way. 

In this career, her mission is to impact lives. she passionate about educating people on the areas they can thrive in to build a stable financial future for themselves and their families. Leading by example is how she inspires peers and clients to take action to achieve their goals. 

When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.

Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.

It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
