Tryssa Pacciulli is the Founder & Lead Financial Advisor at Your Financial Legacy. After spending 15 years in the financial services industry working for a Fortune 500 company and a couple Wealth Management firms, she felt God calling her to start a values based financial planning practice.

Tryssa is originally from Brazil, grew up in Miami, then came to Gainesville for college.  She is quite passionate about her calling as a Financial Advisor, because as a child she saw first-hand how a lack of guidance and financial planning can affect a family for generations.  Tryssa made it her personal mission that her career be focused on providing financial guidance, graduating from the University of Florida with a degree in finance in 2008.  She has also devoted much time and energy in acquiring multiple investment licenses over the years. Tryssa is very involved with the local community and with her church.  She has volunteered in numerous ways, by mentoring youth, providing financial literacy in schools and teaching at Westside Baptist Church. Tryssa has taught Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University for 10 years and has completed the Ramsey Financial Coach Master Training.

Tryssa’s heart lies in serving people, whether through behavioral finance or on mission trips.  Trilingual with Spanish, Portuguese and English, she has served numerous times as a translator and volunteer on medical and dental mission trips in the indigenous villages of the Amazon Basin. Tryssa is married to her high school sweetheart, Johnny and they have two little girls. She loves being out on the water, listening to audiobooks and spending time with family.

Nicholas Bennett is the Client Services Coordinator at Your Financial Legacy. He was born in Orlando and lived in Gainesville growing up. He understood the value and importance of financial literacy through his different experiences at Buchholtz High School and through his parents, who are also Financial Advisors and learned from them.

Nicholas studied at the University of Florida, graduating with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. After graduating, he worked for Tryssa and is studying for his License exam to become a Financial Advisor and work hand in hand with Tryssa. Beyond the workplace, Nicholas enjoys being outside hiking, traveling, photography, and working out.

Isabela Picoli serves as the Administrative Assistant at Your Financial Legacy. She is originally from Brazil, but has lived in Florida for over half of her life. During her childhood, she saw her parents handling money in a healthy and responsible way, always living at or below their means, which helped shape her view of money. In high school, at her father’s direction, she enrolled in the Academy of Finance, a 4-year magnet program at her school, where she was introduced to finance and learned basic financial principles.

While earning her B.S. in Biology at the University of Florida and the years following her graduation, Isabela came across people her age who considered making unwise financial decisions due to their lack of basic financial knowledge. She realized just how important her parents’ example and the basic financial principles she learned in high school had been to her life, and how beneficial it is to learn these principles at a young age. This led to her desire to help people, especially the younger generation, to be financially literate and have good money habits.

Outside of work, Isabela is involved in International and Children’s ministry through her church and has served on mission trips to the Amazon River Basin as a Vacation Bible School leader and Portuguese translator. She also enjoys going to the beach, visiting extended family in Brazil, and spending time with her parents and twin sister.
