                      Responsibilities

                      I am the Market Operations Manager for this market. I have a team of two Assistant Operations Managers and four Service Associates. We are responsible for insuring that all industry rules, regulations and requirements are followed for most non-trade related transactions. 

                      Professional History

                      I’ve been with UBS since 2006 and have been in this industry since I got my first job out of college working at Alex Brown and Sons, Inc. I have also worked at Morgan Stanley. Most of my time has been spent in various departments within Operations, but I did spend several years working in Stock Loan and a year in Government Trading.

                      Education

                      I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Towson University.

                      Licenses & Certifications

                      I  have the Series 7, 9, 10 and Series 66 FINRA licenses.

                      Personal

                      I live with my wife just north of Baltimore, Maryland. We have three kids and two grandchildren. I enjoy great music (if you need tips, just ask), photography and fantasy sports. I am diehard Liverpool Football Club (Premier League Soccer), Baltimore Orioles and Baltimore Ravens fan as well as rooting for the Penguins and Flyers in hockey. I am trying to become a published author, writing suspense and thrillers.

She works closely with clients to build a comprehensive financial plan and then carefully tracks progress—ensuring that the plan remains aligned with their overall goals and objectives over time.
