Where do your passions lie? We address every dimension of your life and your goals—investments, business and legacy—to develop a plan that’s truly personalized for you. Then we’ll help you organize your financial life into three strategies: Liquidity—to help provide cash flow for short-term expenses, Longevity—for longer-term needs and Legacy—for needs that go beyond your own.

UBS Wealth Way is an approach incorporating Liquidity. Longevity. Legacy. strategies, that UBS Financial Services Inc. and our Financial Advisors can use to assist clients in exploring and pursuing their wealth management needs and goals over different time frames. This approach is not a promise or guarantee that wealth, or any financial results, can or will be achieved. All investments involve the risk of loss, including the risk of loss of the entire investment.

    Senior Vice President at UBS Financial Services – Private Wealth Management, I bring nearly three decades of experience helping clients navigate complex financial landscapes with clarity and confidence. Based in Houston, I specialize in building tailored strategies for high-net-worth individuals and families, with a focus on long-term growth, legacy planning, and risk management.

    Before joining UBS, I served as a Director in Credit Suisse’s Private Banking North America division, where I advised clients across diverse industries and life stages. My career began in 1996 as a Personal Business Manager to Austin entrepreneur Lowell Lebermann, followed by a role as a research analyst for a Dallas-based hedge fund—experiences that shaped my analytical approach and client-first mindset.

    I hold both a BBA and MBA in Finance from the University of Texas at Austin, and I’m passionate about delivering thoughtful, data-driven advice that empowers clients to make informed decisions.

    Let’s connect if you’re looking for a trusted advisor who combines institutional insight with a personal touch.

    With over 20 years in the financial services industry, I bring deep operational expertise and a commitment to excellence in client service. I currently serve as Team Administrator within UBS Private Wealth Management in Houston, where I oversee daily operations and portfolio management for a high-performing advisory team.

     

    My career began in 2003 as a Branch Office Administrator with UBS in Lafayette, LA, shortly after earning my Bachelor's Degree in Finance from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. After relocating to Houston in 2012, I joined Credit Suisse as a Registered Associate, managing all administrative and operational functions with precision and care. In 2015, I transitioned with the team to UBS PWM, where I continue to drive efficiency, support strategic initiatives, and ensure seamless client experiences.

     

    I thrive in fast-paced environments and take pride in being the behind-the-scenes force that keeps everything running smoothly.
