    Virginia has thirty years experience as a money manager in the financial services industry. She received her Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees. Virginia began her career at Drexel Burnham in 1980 as a money manager for high net worth individuals. She joined Paine Webber in 1992 and currently works at the UBS office at 299 Park Avenue. She deploys asset allocation and diversification to meet the financial objectives of each client. She focuses on the U.S. equity markets, but handles a full range of financial products to produce the appropriate financial plan.

    It’s the important things—our families, our values, the impact we have on others—that connect us. And although making sense of it all can be hard, asking the right questions can make things clearer. So when I talk to you about wealth management, I want to learn about those life questions that are on your mind. “Should I start my own business? Is it better to leave my kids everything? Or nothing? How do I set up a charitable fund? Will my family be ok when I’m gone?” Together, I know we can find the answers. Whatever your concerns, I can help you create a comprehensive financial plan to address your important priorities. I have managed large portfolios for over 37 years. Through my many years of experience in the Wealth Management industry, I have expanded my knowledge and application of various financial instruments to meet the diverse financial objectives of my clients.
