We seek to accomplish this through a highly personalized approach that focuses primarily on listening, so that we may gain a thorough understanding of the priorities and goals that are most important to you and your family.
As a successful corporate executive or business leader, your finances become more complicated as you take on more and more responsibility. We understand the challenges you face and the level of sophistication you expect. Over the years, we have developed the knowledge and proficiencies needed to help optimize your wealth, while integrating outside assets into a comprehensive wealth management plan. Most importantly, we are committed to building longstanding relationships, and are proud of the fact that many of our clients have been with us for many years and have allowed us the opportunity to help them grow and preserve their assets over multiple generations.

We believe the more complex your financial situation, the more valuable we are to you and the more rewarding your overall experience will be.

Our Philosophy
We are committed to the following core beliefs that serve as the foundation of our practice:
We believe you are entitled to the best advice possible.
To gain the precise knowledge needed to manage all aspects of your wealth, we work closely with your accountant and estate planning attorney. Where appropriate, we consult with our network of specialists within Morgan Stanley and across the industry to evaluate your unique challenges and devise specific recommendations.
We believe in total wealth management.
Retirement assets, equity compensation and insurance policies should not be managed as separate entities, but rather as vital components of your overall financial picture. As an experienced advisory team at Morgan Stanley, we are uniquely positioned to take a holistic approach to executive wealth management. All of your assets, including the benefits you receive from your employer, will be integrated to ensure they are working together to help meet your overall goals.
We believe in education.
Financial education for you and your family is fundamental to our practice and helps ensure continuity as wealth moves from one generation to the next. We believe it is our responsibility to assist your parents and your children as they face important financial challenges. We provide access to resources they may not otherwise have access to, and are here to answer critical questions that may impact the long-term wealth of your extended family.
We believe in long-term relationships.
Successful wealth management begins with personalized service and attention. We invite potential clients to meet with us to share their needs and expectations. We look forward to working with professionals who seek the kind of long-term, fully engaged relationships we value. The bond we form is fundamental to our mission and it is our hope that it spans generations.

About Taylor Haller
Taylor Haller is a Registered Client Service Associate with The Monk Wealth Management Group at Morgan Stanley. With years of experience and an M.B.A. in Business Management, she delivers and maintains the elevated client service experience that high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients rely on every day.
After earning her undergraduate degree from Coppin State University, Taylor went on to receive an M.B.A. in Business Management from the University of Maryland Global Campus. She joined Morgan Stanley in 2022 and has quickly established herself as an integral resource for both clients and the advisory team. Fully licensed, she combines strong operational knowledge with a client-first communication style that helps translate complex requests into clear, actionable outcomes.
In her role, Taylor supports the full spectrum of day-to-day client needs, from coordinating account maintenance and money movement requests to preparing documentation ahead of complex transactions and advisory meetings. She works closely with advisors to help ensure that every detail behind a client relationship is handled with accuracy and urgency — particularly in situations where timing, discretion, and coordination across multiple accounts is essential. Her approach is highly proactive: she strives to anticipate what’s needed before it’s requested, streamline internal processes, and serve as a consistent point of contact for clients and their families. In a fast-moving environment where priorities can shift quickly, Taylor helps ensure the experience remains organized, efficient, and tailored to the standards of an institutional-caliber client base.
Outside the office, Taylor enjoys spending time with friends and family and staying active through Pilates.

About Hannah Fierro
Hannah Fierro is a Client Service Associate with The Monk Wealth Management Group at Morgan Stanley. Working closely with the advisory team, Hannah helps maintain the operational flow that allows high-net-worth clients to receive a seamless and well-organized wealth management experience.
A graduate of Purdue University, Hannah earned her B.A. in Public Relations & Strategic Communication, along with a minor in Spanish. Prior to joining Morgan Stanley in 2024, she built experience in fast-paced communications and client-facing roles, including positions in public relations and project coordination at agencies such as JPR Group and MikeWorldWide. That background sharpened her ability to manage competing priorities, communicate clearly across stakeholders, and support complex workflows with precision and structure.
A key member of the service team, Hannah supports a wide range of client needs and administrative functions, including scheduling, meeting coordination, account servicing requests, and digital platform support. Because of her work, meetings happen when they should, documents are in place when they’re needed, and time-sensitive requests like funding accounts or updating paperwork don’t become points of stress or delay. In many cases, these are the small but important steps that sit behind larger decisions clients are making for their families, businesses, or long-term plans; and Hannah’s focus is on making sure nothing in that chain breaks down.
Outside the office, Hannah enjoys spending time with family and friends and her miniature dachshund, Maisie. An avid runner, she completed the 2025 Chicago Marathon and is set to run it again in 2026, along with several half marathons. She also enjoys traveling and exploring Chicago’s food scene.
