Gracie Guest serves as Executive Assistant to David Allen at Ashford Advisors, where she brings a strong foundation in finance, a love for people, and a natural problem-solving mindset to her role. A resident of Clinton, Mississippi, Gracie supports daily operations and client service efforts with attention to detail, organization, and a genuine desire to help others succeed.
Gracie chose a career in financial services for three simple reasons: she loves people, numbers, and solving problems. She knew early on that she wanted a career that would allow her to serve others using the skills she most enjoys. Studying finance in college solidified her passion for the industry, and she is excited to continue growing and learning within the profession.
In December 2025, Gracie graduated from Mississippi College with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration - Finance. During her time at MC, she was inducted into Beta Gamma Sigma and Mortar Board, recognizing her academic achievement and leadership. She was selected to represent the School of Business in the Student Government Association, where she later served as chaplain. Additionally, she served on the Student Advisory Board for the School of Business throughout her college career. Ashford Advisors marks her first full-time professional role, and she approaches it with enthusiasm and dedication.
Originally from Taylor, Mississippi, Gracie recently settled in Clinton. She is the daughter of Josh and Heather Guest and has a younger brother, Caleb. She is engaged to Collin Breedlove and looks forward to building a life rooted in faith, family, and service.
Gracie is an active member of First Baptist Church Clinton, where she serves in the youth group and leads a discipleship group. Her faith is central to who she is, and one of her favorite verses, Colossians 3:17, reminds her to approach every task with gratitude and purpose.
Outside the office, Gracie loves all things Ole Miss athletics, especially baseball. She was present in Omaha to watch Ole Miss Rebels baseball win their first national championship and has made it a goal to see the Rebels play in every SEC stadium. She also enjoys playing pickleball, going on walks, and challenging friends to board and card games. A fan of the Harry Potter series and the TV show Survivor, Gracie describes her personality as bubbly, gentle, and occasionally silly.
She spent two summers working at Pine Cove City camps. Those summers were among the most challenging and rewarding seasons of her life. The experience strengthened her leadership, resilience, and heart for serving others. She could talk about her camp days for hours.
With a servant’s heart, a strong academic background, and a passion for excellence, Gracie is proud to support the team at Ashford Advisors and the clients they serve.
