My Mission Statement
Delivering the full scope of Morgan Stanley's tools and capabilities to entrepreneurs and their families
My Story
Pendleton is proud to come from a family of successful entrepreneurs and their spirit has been a guiding light throughout her life. From servicing customers in her mother's store to starting a business with her college roommate, she has always had a combined desire to help people and to build something.
In 2022, Pendleton joined the Steinberg Forman Group at Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management with a goal of providing world-class solutions and service to the entrepreneurs that she is dedicated to helping. Throughout her prior roles at the Firm, she worked alongside many of the top Private Wealth Management teams on financial planning, risk management, and investment due diligence. She had the opportunity to join many of these teams, but ultimately chose the Steinberg Forman Group because they not only led with character and integrity, but had the experience, dedication, and infrastructure to support the complex needs of entrepreneurs and their families.
In 2024, Pendleton was named a member of the Morgan Stanley Pacesetter's Club, a global recognition program for Next-Gen Financial Advisors who have demonstrated some of the highest professional standards and first-class client service. Due to her work with clients who own and operate family businesses, Pendleton was selected to be a part of Morgan Stanley's Family Governance and Dynamics Working Group with the goal of driving more meaningful and impactful conversations with clients around family matters. Pendleton's commitment to continuous learning is evident through her numerous professional designations including CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst, and Certified Exit Planning Advisor.
Pendleton earned her Bachelor's degree at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business, where she was a four-year player and senior captain of the Division I Women's Golf Team. To keep her competitive mentality sharp, she still competes in amateur golf tournaments, and most recently competed in the 2022 and 2023 USGA Women's Mid-Am. She applies the "athlete mentality" to all aspects of her personal and professional life. Pendleton is originally from South Carolina and now resides in Manhattan where, when she is not in the office, can be found either trying a new fitness class, swapping book recommendations with friends, appreciating modern and contemporary art, or walking the West Side Highway.

Source: Barron's.com (May 2024) 2024 Barron's Top 250 Private Wealth Management Teams awarded in 2024. The teams are ranked on a variety of factors, including their size and shape, their regulatory records and credentials of their members, and the resources they have at their disposal to serve their client bases. The rankings are meant as a starting point for clients looking for an advisor—a first-pass vetting that can help investors narrow a search. Every advisor will have his or her own approach to investing, financial planning, and other services. Clients are encouraged to approach a search for an advisor the way they would a search for a doctor—interviewing multiple professionals and getting opinions from multiple third parties. Rankings are based on the opinions of Barron's and this ranking may not be representative of any one client’s experience. This ranking is not indicative of the Financial Advisor’s future performance.

We don’t shy away from calculated risks and consider failure as a learning opportunity. While the parallels are abundant, the transition may not be easy.
