As the newest member of The Wrigley Group at Morgan Stanley, I joined because of our shared passion serving clients and their families and helping them on their path to financial freedom. I bring to the team my experience in caring for C-Suite executives regarding their Executive Compensation.

My experience and skill came from within Morgan Stanley where I worked since 2019 with the Executive Services team who are all about providing white glove service to Executives to help them manage and make the most of their compensation.

As a native Georgian, I uprooted to Arizona in 2011 to live closer to my dad and start a new adventure. That’s when I began my career in caring for people and their financial well-being. I served as a branch manager at the Texas-based, First Convenience Bank in Arizona. Their motto is “Putting Customers First Since 1901”, and that’s exactly what I lead my teams to do in multiple branch locations. In 2017 I left the bank to pursue my interest in the investment financial field at Charles Schwab where I was on the incoming Stock Plan member team.

Born and raised in Augusta, Georgia, I do like golf, but my sport of choice is football, and I am a diehard Atlanta Falcons fan. My love of the pro game extends to fantasy football, too, because I can feel first-hand what it’s like to win. I am a wife and a new mother to Jameson, our handsome little toddler. In my free time I love to kick box at the gym, hike, and cook.

My first inkling of a career in financial services came when I graduated from high school and got a 4H scholarship to the Art Institute of Atlanta for Culinary Management. I quickly realized that career direction for me was more like “Hell’s Kitchen Bootcamp”, so I quickly changed my major and career path to finance.
