Industry Award WinnerMy Mission Statement
We provide tailored, objective advice that is focused on doing what’s right for you. We listen to you as our friend and support you as our family.
You Define Success, I Help You Achieve It
Thanks for finding my individual Morgan Stanley website.
I am excited to share some important news about my practice.
I have been operating as a sole practitioner, helping each of my clients achieve their personal and financial goals. During that time, my commitment to the individuals and families I serve has resulted in steady growth, thanks primarily to client referrals, for which I am very grateful.
I am proud of this growth yet know that if I am to continue to dedicate the time, attention and superior service that each client deserves, I must expand my capabilities and professional resources. This realization has convinced me that partnering with another experienced financial advisor who shares the same values and perspectives as I do and delivers new skills that complement my own would enable me to strengthen the services I offer and enrich the relationships I’ve established.
After careful consideration, I have made the decision to partner with Teri Salach, Wealth Advisor, a 23-year industry veteran at Morgan Stanley, and together form The Plaza Group at Morgan Stanley.
Teri and I first met in 2014 after my move to the Leawood office. We really started working together as committee chairs on the Women’s Advisory Committee for the Kansas/Missouri Complex. Over the years I have sought out her advice on specific investment strategies, product knowledge, and moral support. She is a true professional and brings a wealth of experience – especially in portfolio management – that I look forward to sharing with you.

1Morgan Stanley offers a wide array of brokerage and advisory services to its clients, each of which may create a different type of relationship with different obligations to you. Please consult with your Financial Advisor to understand these differences or review our Understanding Your Brokerage and Investment Advisory Relationships brochure available at www.morganstanley.com/wealth-relationshipwithms/pdfs/understandingyourrelationship.pdf.
For more information, please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC Client Relationship Summary.
2When 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.

Individuals should always check with their tax or legal advisor before engaging in any transaction involving 529 Plans, Education Savings Accounts and other tax-advantaged investments.
4Investors 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.
