Audrey Yap

BBA Finance, MIS

Associate Advisor

From a young age, Audrey has been deeply passionate about the true value of managing finances. She began her career at just 14, gaining experience across a diverse range of industries over the years including sports and recreation, beauty and personal care, and hospitality and food services. This broad background has equipped her with a versatile skill set and the ability to connect with and serve people from all walks of life.

Audrey’s interest in finances and investments continued to grow, leading her to begin investing and trading assets at the age of 18. She quickly discovered her natural ability to identify opportunities and manage her finances effectively.

While pursuing her studies at Simon Fraser University, she developed a strong personal interest in exploring financial markets, investment opportunities, and diverse asset classes. What began as a hobby soon evolved into a deep, practical understanding of finance.

Now a graduate with a double major in Finance and Management Information Systems, and with five years of independent study of the financial industry, she is deeply passionate about assisting others on how to better steward their finances.

Through her journey, she recognized the gaps and impersonal nature often present in traditional financial services. This realization inspired her to pursue a more compassionate, client-centered approach to financial planning, ultimately leading her to join Rise Above Finance, where she could align her values with meaningful impact.
