I the Roth IRA advice from @Hal_Al if you don't have much income in the contribution year. Why? Because getting a deduction for a Traditional IRA won't reduce your current taxes much (you're not in a high bracket) and the power of tax-free withdrawals down the road is very powerful.
I also like the idea of an investment advisor, but that may be hard to find or afford if you don't have much income or assets. I highly recommend that you select someone with the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation. See https://www.letsmakeaplan.org/
It is also worth considering using a "fee only" planner rather than one who doesn't charge you a fee but rather gets a commission from what you invest in. I think it is very hard for % planners to be objective. They will naturally steer you to investments that pay them.
Do note that you can't take out the earnings anytime. Sometimes there is a penalty and tax if taken out "early". You should plan leaving the earnings in the account for 5 years after opening the account and when you are older than 59.5. There are a few exceptions (education, first time homebuying, health insurance if unemployed). See https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/05/waitingperiodroth.asp
