About Me

Born in Doylestown and raised in Kingston, Pennsylvania, Mary McEvoy-Dockeray’s journey as a Financial Advisor has led to diverse professional experiences. With a background in accounting and tax preparation, Mary brings a solid foundation of financial knowledge to her role.

After earning her bachelor’s degree in accounting from Kings College in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, Mary began her career in 1985 as a staff accountant and tax preparer which allowed her to gain the perspective of business owners, individuals, and employees. She also gained a comprehensive understanding of financial statements, tax regulations, and intricacies of managing personal and business wealth.

Driven by her passion for helping others achieve their financial goals, she joined Morgan Stanley as a financial advisor in 1990. In 2008 she gained the designation of Chartered Retirement Plans Specialist℠ and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. By carefully listening to her clients’ unique financial stories, she begins a process to create a detailed plan and bring strategies that cater to their ongoing and ever-changing needs.

In addition to her professional pursuits, Mary is a member of the North Scranton Rotary club and holds the distinction of being a Paul Harris Fellow. She is also a member of the Irem Women’s Golf Association. She is deeply committed to giving back to her community and making a positive impact on the lives of others.

Outside of her work, Mary enjoys spending time with her husband of 30 years, Bill, daughters, sons, and grandchildren. She finds solace and relaxation in activities such as golfing, swimming, reading, playing bridge, running, knitting, and cooking her family’s favorite Sunday meals. These personal interests allow her to maintain a healthy work-life balance and find fulfilment to her everyday life.

With her strong educational background, extensive professional experience, and unwavering dedication to her clients, Mary McEvoy-Dockeray is not only a trusted and knowledgeable Financial Advisor but also a compassionate individual who strives to be effective in the lives of those she serves.
