About Me
Elke began her career in the financial services industry in 2000 at UBS. She moved to Wells Fargo and later Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, and joined Morgan Stanley in 2024. Today she is the senior advisor for the team and her responsibilities include relationship management, wealth management planning and portfolio investment selection.
Elke enjoys developing long-term relationships with clients and their families. She also has a nuanced understanding of the needs of women, many of who will take full responsibility for their finances at some point in their lives as widows or after a divorce. Experienced in moving, transferring and liquidating assets for separating spouses, Elke works with their attorneys and accountants and assists with wealth management strategies to help with their ever-changing needs as they continue to look to the future.
She believes that effective wealth management should begin with what’s important to clients on a personal level such as generating income in retirement, funding a child’s education or transferring wealth to younger generations or charitable organizations. Elke creates an investment approach that’s customized to address clients’ unique goals and concerns and help them pursue the financial futures they envision.
After earning her bachelor’s degree in finance and international business from Baylor University in Waco, Elke went on to earn her M.B.A. in finance from the University of Dallas. She also holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® certification awarded by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. and the Certified Investment Management Analyst®, CIMA® designation. Elke is a member of the Financial Planning Association (FPA®) and the Investments & Wealth Institute™ (The Institute). She and her husband, Bill, reside in Frisco with their busy, blended family of five children, Matthew, Kyle, Nicholas, Julia and Olivia. In her spare time, Elke enjoys playing tennis, traveling, working out and volunteering at her daughters’ school, Prestonwood Christian Academy.
