Welcome

As your Financial Advisor, I bring a unique perspective to the table. My journey began at George Washington University, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (1974). Initially, my career path was aimed at becoming a lawyer, but destiny had other plans. In 1976, I noticed a significant shortage of females in the financial industry, which ignited my passion for change.

Embracing the challenge of being a woman in this traditionally male-dominated field, I persevered and thrived in brokerage. Today, my mission is to empower you to define and work towards your financial goals. Together, we'll navigate a wealth of resources tailored to your investment style and objectives. My commitment is to help you preserve and cultivate your wealth. By partnering with me, you'll gain access to some of the world's most seasoned and respected investment professionals, an elite trading and execution platform, and a comprehensive array of investment options.

I have been been a Wealth Advisor at Morgan Stanley for the past 29 years. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going on walks, interior design, and giving back to my community.

3When Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”) provide “investment advice” regarding a retirement or welfare benefit plan account, an individual retirement account or a Coverdell education savings account (“Retirement Account”), Morgan Stanley is a “fiduciary” as those terms are defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as applicable. When Morgan Stanley provides investment education, takes orders on an unsolicited basis or otherwise does not provide “investment advice”, Morgan Stanley will not be considered a “fiduciary” under ERISA and/or the Code. For more information regarding Morgan Stanley’s role with respect to a Retirement Account, please visit www.morganstanley.com/disclosures/dol. Tax laws are complex and subject to change. Morgan Stanley does not provide tax or legal advice. Individuals are encouraged to consult their tax and legal advisors (a) before establishing a Retirement Account, and (b) regarding any potential tax, ERISA and related consequences of any investments or other transactions made with respect to a Retirement Account. Individuals should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters.

11Investors should consider many factors before deciding which 529 plan is appropriate. Some of these factors include: the Plan's investment options and the historical investment performance of these options, the Plan's flexibility and features, the reputation and expertise of the Plan's investment manager, Plan contribution limits and the federal and state tax benefits associated with an investment in the Plan. Some states, for example, offer favorable tax treatment and other benefits to their residents only if they invest in the state's own Qualified Tuition Program. Investors should determine their home state's tax treatment of 529 plans when considering whether to choose an in-state or out-of-state plan. Investors should consult with their tax or legal advisor before investing in any 529 Plan or contact their state tax division for more information. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not provide tax and/or legal advice. Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.
