Prior to her arrival at UBS, Rachel was with Merrill Lynch Wealth Management for over 20 years. During the 20 years (her time in financial services) she has worked with dozens of clients, their families including next generations - educating, customizing, advising on wealth management, estate planning strategies, long term care insurance and life insurance, asset allocation, investment and risk management. Her mission is to provide her clients with the best path to wealth accumulation, retention and transfer of assets by creating and implementing strategies that are tailored to their unique goals. She is driven to provide her clients with uncluttered, professional advise that enhances their quality of life and leads to sustained and actionable solutions.

She also has experience helping clients with access to commercial banking and financing strategies from Bank of America, N.A., managing concentrated stock positions and dealing with the challenges of important transition events like retirement, divorce, inheritance or the sale of a business.
