Get to know me

As a First Citizens commercial banker, it’s important to invest in understanding your business, strategies and key objectives. An established process and skilled team of specialists help me tailor solutions to fit you and your organization. Clients appreciate our trusted partnership in planning for long-term success.

My career includes over 22 years in banking with the majority of that time spent in the Commercial Banking space. My specific focus has been working with clients in the Commercial and Industrial Industry. My experience in Treasury and Payment Solutions, Financing, and Cash Flow Management allows me to add value and create true long lasting partnerships.

My husband, Chris and I have been married for 22 years. We are the proud parents of two terrific adult sons.

I am passionate about my family and my friends. They are my "Why" to everything I do. Together we live, laugh and love each other as much as possible. They make each day an adventure.

I invite you to connect with me on LinkedIn.
