Experience

I have been working in the Financial Service industry since 1981. Through the years, I have experienced a multitude of markets and economic dynamics. I assist clients to navigate these markets through careful, thoughtful, professional financial planning and individualized attention. I joined Morgan Stanley in 1998 and more recently, The Sizemore Group. This team alliance adds depth and scope to my practice. Through Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, I can provide comprehensive financial strategies and solutions to both individual and corporate clients. I focus on retirement planning for those investors who have worked hard over their lifetime, accumulated wealth and now need their resources to be preserved and have those resources help support their retirement goals.

In 2007, I earned the Certified Wealth Strategist credential from the Cannon Financial Institute. This dedicated course, in addition to advanced training at Morgan Stanley in New York City, provided me with technical knowledge, management formula and critical client interaction skills to offer customized investment strategies. In 2017, I enrolled in the coursework and achieved the designation of Certified Financial Planner (CFP). This arduous and in-depth training supports the continued screening and education of financial professionals. It provides a Code of Standards that is unparalleled in the industry and requires financial advisors with these credentials to apply clients' best interests with integrity and competence. In 2022, I earned the designation of Lending Specialist through Morgan Stanley. This designation supports my capabilities in all areas of lending, lines of credit and cash management. I continue to enhance my professional skills so can remain on the cutting edge and be the best possible for my clients.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder where I graduated with honors. I am currently a Professional Mentor with the University of Colorado Leeds Professional Mentoring Program where 1 serve as a mentor for undergraduate students interested in the fields of finance and accounting. I feel a responsibility to give back to my community and to our future generation of financial professionals.

In my spare time, I love to cook and to be outdoors. I am an avid walker/hiker and spend a lot of time with my companion, Indie, a 50-pound white Labradoodle. I love to waterski, snow ski and am an amateur bird watcher. I have two girls who are grown women now and make me very proud. I love to spend time with friends and family. I am a supporter of our men and women in service and am proud to be an American.
