Over her nearly four decade career in financial services, Holly has been at the forefront of what she calls “anticipatory wealth management.” She strives to understand the motivations and aspirations of each member of the client family and reach consensus on goals and overall financial management. Holly and her team work to map out—that is, anticipate—the family’s likely milestones and their impact or contribution to the asset base. This preplanning means the team is ready with targeted financial strategies and solutions for education savings, separately managed accounts for graduates or newlyweds, gifting and trusts for children and grandchildren, retirement income and expense planning, healthcare savings, and estate planning.

Holly is an avid world traveler with a keen interest in archeology and gourmet cooking. Holly entered the financial services industry in 1977 and joined UBS in 1985.

She is a Registered Options Principal, and holds a FINRA Series 7 and 63 licenses. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Hollins University with honors in Economics and a minor in Statistics.
