    Everyone told Jessica she should be in financial services to use her mathematical skills. When she finally decided that it was time to take everyone's advice and try her hand in the financial world, she realized that she needed in-depth knowledge to really help clients make the best decisions. She immediately started studying for the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM certification.  Working with clients and helping them with the transitions in life has been an amazing and gratifying experience.

    Today, with nearly 30 years of experience in financial services, Jessica still finds it rewarding to witness her clients living the life they've always imagined, and she knows that working with her team has made a difference. In fact, that's why she joined UBS in 2009—the firm shares her client-centric philosophy.

                Emilie is driven by helping clients take care of the people who are most important to them, through holistic advice. When it comes to finances, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Emilie helps people organize the big picture of their wealth through day-to-day attention to detail. She forges personal relationships with clients by talking with them about their personal and professional goals, needs, wants and wishes. Then a fully integrated financial plan is created for managing wealth comprehensively.
