Get to know me

As a Manager of Business Banking it is important for me to play a role in assisting my lenders in fully understanding your business strategies, needs and key objectives for the future. We have a skilled team of lenders and support staff that believe in creating relationships with our clients to help them achieve long term success.

I am originally from Venezuela. I moved to the states in 1998 with the purpose of learning English as a second language. I fell in love with the PNW and decided to make it my home. I earned my Business and Finance Degree from University of Washington in 2004.

I have been in banking for 16 years, and I love what I do. I specialize in the Dental/Medical space, but have worked with clients in all types of industries from Plumbing to Food distributors.

My husband, Roger and I have been married for 6 years and are the proud parents of a very independent little boy that goes by Hank. I am passionate about helping my team succeed and developing my bankers into consultants for the Businesses they serve. In my free time, I love to travel, dabble into golf, and I am an avid knitter.

I invite you to connect with me on LinkedIn.
