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.
I was born and raised in Haywood County, North Carolina. Remaining in Western North Carolina, I earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Western Carolina University, College of Business. After graduation, the start to my career was in a small accounting firm, later transitioning to Charlotte, North Carolina working in a mid-size tax firm. Missing the mountains greatly, I returned and began a career at First Citizens Bank in 2004 as a commercial analyst. In 2007, I began serving our clients as a commercial banker. Now in my seventeenth year at First Citizens, I continue to help provide our clients with a holistic approach to banking.
To serve our community, I volunteer my time on many local boards and events. Previously serving on Children First Communities in Schools, YWCA, and currently involved as a board member on Asheville Humane Society, Inc., Aston Park Retirement Center, and the Asheville Woman UP committee.
My spouse, Dallas and I have been married for 14 years and are proud parents of our 11-year-old daughter Sadie and our boxer Ruby. We enjoy camping in the summer throughout beautiful Western North Carolina.
