Senior Vice President–Wealth Management

Throughout my life I have encountered many challenges both
personal and financial. While none of these events seemed related
as they occurred I easily recognize now that each one connected
to the next to uniquely qualify me for the work I am so proud of
today.
The foundation of my career was built during my years as a public
school teacher which gave me the skills I now use to effectively
communicate complex and sometimes daunting financial concepts.
In 2022 I joined UBS as a member of the RMH Group and together
we manage over $400 million in client assets (as of 12.2023). We use a consultative process to gain a detailed and
very personal understanding of our clients’ deepest values and
goals. Together we explore their relationship with money, recognize
potential roadblocks and remove barriers where needed. We then
work to help them build the bridge that connects their values and
goals with their money. Each bridge is a personalized construction
that supports their unique needs and spans the entire spectrum of
possibilities.
I thrive on taking a holistic approach to assisting my wonderful
clients with their financial planning and wealth management needs.
I strive to contribute time and resources to my community through
my volunteer work with many vital cultural and social service
organizations and find time now and again to knit, garden, walk
on the beach, kayak and cook for friends and family. I divide my
time between my homes in Florida and Maine and cherish my time
with family, friends and my delightful furry companion Nisha in
both locations.
