Austin Branch Office. With more than 28 years of experience in the financial services industry, Katie brings a wealth of knowledge and a broad perspective of the
investment world to her clients. In addition, while serving as the Branch Manager, she cultivates a thriving client-centric culture for the Financial Advisors she leads.

Personal experiences have deeply impacted Katie’s perspective on how to best service her clients. Katie began her career as a Financial Advisor while being a single
parent, which instilled in her an urgency not only to ensure the deepest of client relationships but also to provide a solid and lasting foundation for her two children –
both of whom are successful and pillars of their community.

These
experiences have made Katie more empathetic and aware of financial implications throughout life transitions. Katie’s goal is to help clients navigate through similar
challenges in their own lives, and to offer guidance when faced with financial uncertainties.

After 20 years at Merrill Lynch, Katie made the firm change to Morgan Stanley in October 2022, alongside Rene Corbett, a longtime colleague since 2010. Morgan
Stanley’s vast resources allows their team to offer customized solutions and ideas to help meet their client’s needs no matter what phase of life they are in. Katie works

solutions – investing, planning, estate planning strategies, tax efficiency, retirement, assets, and liabilities– for clients at all life stages who want to reevaluate their
current wealth management approaches.

Although she is native to Grand Blanc, Michigan, Katie has lived in Austin, Texas for 36 years with her loving husband, two adult children and a two grandchild. She admires San Francisco’s rich culture and community, as it emphasizes diverse thinking and an active lifestyle. Outside of work, Katie enjoys reading, traveling, expressing creativity in the kitchen and spending time with her loved ones.
