                                                    Carolyn started in the industry in the early 80’s at Kidder Peabody in Buffalo, NY.  Hired as a Client Service Associate, she was promoted to Operations Manager a short time later.  Having taken time off to get married and raise a family, she returned to the industry as a margin clerk at Prudential Securities.  While at Prudential, she was one of eight employees asked to participate in a manager training program.  Shortly after joining the program Carolyn was promoted to Operations Manager and relocated to Binghamton, NY.  After two years in Binghamton, Carolyn was relocated to Prudential’s Stamford, Connecticut office where she continued to serve as Operations Manager.  In 1998 Carolyn moved to PaineWebber, now UBS, in NYC as Administrative/Compliance manager where she is currently performing duties as a Supervisory Officer in the 299 Park Avenue branch.
