    I have been with UBS and a member of the Wellington Group since 2014, and worked in sales management and marketing prior to that.  I graduated from Ball State University with a Business degree.  Any free time that I have is most enjoyed with my two daughters, Isabelle and Lucy.

        I have been with UBS as a member of the Wellington Group since July 2010, and graduated from the International Business College in 1996 with a degree in Applied Science with legal specialization.  Gardening, going on walks, and spending time with family are what I enjoy in my spare time.
