My name is Aracelis Bell, and I am a Financial Advisor at Alaska Wealth Advisors, joining the team in August 2024. My journey in the financial industry spans over twenty-five years, beginning with Marketing One Securities in Portland, OR. It was there that I first experienced the dynamic, fast-paced nature of the industry, developing a range of skills—from foundational tasks to order-taking and executing trades on the trading desk in the late ’90s. In those early years, I supported advisors across multiple states, gaining invaluable insights that set the foundation for my career.
After working in operations, I transitioned into a support role for senior advisors and their clients, with positions at McDonald Investments in Portland, OR, and Smith Barney in Anchorage, AK. These roles paved the way for my natural progression to becoming a financial advisor. In 2001, I moved to Anchorage and briefly worked at Edward Jones before starting a new chapter in 2003 at Northrim Investment Services. My 21-year career there allowed me to develop as a financial advisor, serving individuals, businesses, nonprofits, and retirement plans.
Throughout my career, I’ve made it my mission to guide clients in making prudent financial decisions and fostering a disciplined approach to achieving a better investment experience. When the opportunity arose to join Alaska Wealth Advisors, I was excited to embark on a fresh path and deepen my commitment to this work.
Outside of the office, I cherish spending quality time with family and friends. I am passionate about training my dogs for performance sports, especially flyball and agility, and I enjoy exploring various creative outlets, including painting. These activities provide balance and fuel my continued growth, both personally and professionally.
