Her career has spanned several small practices as well as a few Fortune 500 companies, Marriott, and Starbucks, where I held management roles, regional positions, and tenure of an average of 7 years with each company. In all the careers that Debbie has held, her position would have components to coach, train and teach to which she continues to do today at Morgan Stanley with my role as Field Trainer, Senior Training Specialist. Before being transferred back to the Western Region in 2024, she was most recently the Field Trainer in the Louisiana/ Mississippi Market assisting FAs and Teams.

1When 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.
